Reference Manual for the ProSafe Network Management System NMS100

Custom Menus

The Manage menus are actually built-in custom menus from an external configuration file. You can also add custom menus to display particular tables. For example, if you have only a few device types in your network you probably should add custom menus to display the vendor specific tables for those devices. You can then display MIB information using the right-click menus instead of searching for MIB tables in the MIB Selection Tree. For more information about custom menus, select the Menu tab of the Selection Tool and press the F1 key.
