SETTING UP YOUR BROWSER

In general, the default settings that come configured on your browser work well with ExtremeWare Vista. The following are recommended settings that you can use to improve the display features and functionality of ExtremeWare Vista:

•After downloading a newer version of the Summit image, clear the browser disk and memory cache to see the updated menu screens. You must clear the cache while at the main ExtremeWare Vista Logon screen, so that all underlying .GIF files are updated.

•Check for newer versions of stored pages. Every visit to the page should be selected as a cache setting.

If you are using Netscape Navigator, configure the cache option to check for changes “Every Time” you request a page.

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, configure the Temporary Internet Files setting to check for newer versions of stored pages by selecting “Every visit to the page.”

•Images must be auto-loaded.

•Use a high-resolution monitor to maximize the amount of information displayed in the content frame. The recommended resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels. You can also use 800 x 600 pixels.

•Turn off one or more of the browser toolbars to maximize the viewing space of the ExtremeWare Vista content screen.

•If you will be using ExtremeWare Vista to send an e-mail to the Extreme Networks Technical Support department, configure the e-mail settings in your browser.
