Choosing a Command (Executable) File

The Command field in the Management Application area tells NetSight Element Manager which management application is to be launched for a given node class when any one of the Manage options is selected. For executables provided by NetSight Element Manager (which all reside in the \NetSight Element Manager x.x\bin directory by default), you need only enter the name of the executable file. For any executable which resides outside the default bin directory, you must also enter the full path.

To enter a new command, you can either click in the Command text box and type in the name (and path, if necessary) of the executable file you want associated with the node class; or you can use the Browse Executables window, as follows:

1.Click on the Browse button next to the Command field. The Browse Executables window, Figure 4-30, opens.

The executable you have selected will be displayed in the File name field at the bottom of the window.

3.When you have made your selection, click Open. The Management Application Command field will now contain the executable file you have selected.
