To include the name of the computer where the notification originated, you must add the parameter to the message. 9 Click Finish. Speeding up alert configuration If you have a large network, you may be able to speed up and simplify your configuration of AMS2 by only searching a certain segment of your network for AMS2 computers. This is especially useful if you manage a large network with many different servers, and you want to confine your search to one section of the network, or one specific subnet mask. The process is faster when you limit your search, and alerts are contained in the defined network segment. You can get a faster response across a large network if you limit the network segments. You can use this option with either IPX or TCP/IP network protocols. You can specify whether you want AMS2 to discover clients only within a certain octet or subnet mask.
