CAUTION

Altering the appearance of the ASEM involves altering

.properties ﬁles located in the properties sub-folder of the application installation. Nortel recommends that copies of the original .properties ﬁles be saved in a separate folder before altering them. These original ﬁles can be restored by replacing the altered the ﬁles in the properties directory.

Modifying Label Appearance

The alias.properties ﬁle lists the correspondence between MIB variables and the label used to describe that value in the application. To change the label used, perform this procedure:

Step Action

1Open the alias.properties ﬁle in a text editor. For Nortel 180 and AD Series switches, the ﬁle is located in <ASEM installation directory>/properties/Tigon. For Nortel Application Switches, the ﬁle is located in <ASEM installation directory>/properties/aws24.

2All entries in the ﬁle are listed in the following format:

MIB Variable=Description

Change the Description portion to reﬂect the new label to be used in the application.

Note: Changing the MIB Variable portion causes the application to use the system default value for the label.

3Save the changes made to the ﬁle. These changes are displayed the next time the application is started.
