2.Edit the ctron.ini file by adding the following line under the heading [SpectrumElementManager2]:

SrcAddrFileName=<pathname><ENETADDR.DEF>

where <pathname> is the path to the data directory in NetSight Element Manager (by default, \NetSight Element Manager x.x\bin).

3.Save and close the ctron.ini file

4.Exit and re-start NetSight Element Manager, so that the changes to ctron.ini will take effect.

NOTE

You need not close, then re-open NetSight Element Manager after making edits to the ENETADDR.DEF file; it’s only necessary after editing the ctron.ini file.

Once you have configured this file, any Source Address window (like the one illustrated in Figure 7-3) will include the text name you have assigned to a MAC address, as well as the MAC address itself.
