In a UNIX environment, for Device Manager (or Optivity Switch Manager) to launch a Netscape browser properly, the shell in which Device Manager was launched must have a Netscape browser in its path.
In a Solaris environment, Device Manager may not open a Netscape window when you click a Help button. To work around this issue, first launch Netscape manually; then the Help system properly opens in the Netscape browser window.
The Help menu may behave erratically after you view the "About Device Manager" selection. If the edge of the Help menu extends beyond the device view window, you may not be able to select Legend using the cursor. The workaround for this problem is to use the arrow keys to select from this menu or to widen the device view window so that the Help menu is displayed in its entirety on top of the device view.
If, for some reason, the web browser does not launch, the Help files for the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 are located in the default installation directories listed in "Help file locations, Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600" (page 56).
