User interface
The McDATA Web Server and Element Manager applications share a common interface as shown in Figure 3. The interface consists of a menu bar, fabric tree, graphic window, data windows (some with buttons), and data window tabs. The switch faceplate is displayed in the graphic window and shows the front of a single switch and its ports. The fabric name is displayed for reference in the fabric tree above the switch names. Click a switch name or icon to display a different switch faceplate in the graphic window. Information displayed in the data windows corresponds to the data window tab selected.
The Element Manager application uses a modified faceplate display with fewer menus, no fabric tree, and fewer data window tabs.
