NOTE

If no Actions button appears in the Create/Edit Events window, the selected RMON device does not support the Actions MIB. The Actions functionality will only be available for Cabletron devices, as it is supplied by a Cabletron proprietary MIB; for more information about devices which support this MIB, contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support.
