Managing Device Properties

Viewing and changing appliance configuration information

The AutoView 3008/3016 switch can report most device properties directly through the AutoView switch web browser.

The Configure tab allows you to display a list of categories covering a wide range of parameters for your switch. When a category is selected from the list, the parameters associated with the category will be read from the unit. You will then be able to modify those parameters and send the changes securely back to the switch.

Viewing switch parameters

The Appliance category allows you to view the Product Type, Product Name, Product Description, EID, MAC Address, Number of Digitizers, ARI Ports and Local Ports for the AutoView switch.

From the Network sub-category, you are able to modify the network configuration for the AutoView switch.
