Attributes
Attributes allow you to set the adapter cable attribute parameters for each port. When you click Attributes..., a dialog box similar to the one below appears:
The port numbers for all ports on the installation, including those from cascaded switches, are listed in the column on the left. A port's attributes are shown on the right. The purpose of each attribute is described in the table below:
Attribute | Purpose |

| to the port. Choices are Short (less than 10 m), Medium |
| and Long |
|
|

| port is using. Choices are PC (for Windows, and serial devices), Mac |
| (for MacOS), and Sun (for Sun Solaris). The default is PC. |
