Setting preferences

You can customize the following preference settings for McDATA Web Server and Element Manager:

•Change the location of the working directory in which to save files.

•Change the location of the browser used to view the online help.

•Select a Display Dialog When Making Non-secure Connections option. If enabled, the Non-secure Connections Check dialog is displayed when you attempt to open a non-secure fabric. You then have the option of opening a non-secure fabric. If disabled, you cannot open a fabric with a non-secure connection.

•Enable (default) or disable the Event Browser. See ”Displaying the event browser” on page 31. If the Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog as shown in Figure 2, the next time McDATA Web Server is started, all events will be displayed. If the Event Browser is disabled when McDATA Web Server is started and later enabled, only those events from the time the Event Browser was enabled and forward will be displayed.

•Choose the default port view when opening the faceplate display. You can set the faceplate to reflect the current port type (default), port speed, port operational state, or port transceiver media. Regardless of the default port view you choose, you can change the port view in the faceplate display by opening the View menu and selecting a different port view option. See the corresponding subsection for more information:

•Port types, page 93

•Port states, page 92

•Port speeds, page 94

•Port transceiver media status, page 94
