Using Device Manager dialog boxes

Many Device Manager dialog boxes contain fields that allow you to enter values for parameters, and many of the parameters have predetermined possible values. For example, a port may be set to be enabled or disabled. Other parameter values are ranges of user-determined values. For example, the value for a system contact will be a name you enter in the SysContact field.

Fields that can be modified are displayed in white.

Use this procedure to change the value in a field.

Using the buttons in Device Manager dialog boxes

"Device Manager buttons" (page 54) describes buttons that appear in Device Manager dialog boxes and tabs.

Note that all of these buttons do not appear in all of the dialog boxes on the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, Metro ESU 1800, and Metro ESU 1850. Specifically, only the first ten buttons listed in the table, with the exception of Resize Columns, are applicable to the Metro ESU 1800 and 1850.
