Click on the cell with the setting you want to edit. If a value is read-only, the cursor changes to the “No” sign when placed over the cell.

If the value can be modified, an arrow appears in the value field. When you click on the field, a drop-down box appears, listing the possible values for the configuration. You can also use the Tab key to navigate through the fields.

After a value has changed in the configuration table, it turns blue (default). The new value is not changed in the component, until you click Set. After a Set is issued and the value is changed in the component, the color returns to normal.

Other fields on the Configuration Tool menu are:

■Window Title Bar—Displays the target device IP address.

■Get Button—Triggers the SNMP Get operation for the selected parameter group. The Get operation updates the display with the last-saved values.

■Set Button—Triggers the SNMP Set operation for the selected parameter group. The Set operation writes the displayed values to the device MIB.

■Help—Displays information about configurable parameters. Click on the Help button. The context-sensitive help icon appears. Simply click the parameter/object for which you want additional information. The system launches your HTML browser.
