Nortel Networks NN47220-101 manual Modifying Label Appearance, MIB Variable=Description

Customizing the ASEM Display 43

The following sections describe the elements of the ASEM that can be changed:

•"Modifying Label Appearance" (page 43)

•"Modifying the list of well-known ports" (page 44)

•"Modifying or adding Well-known Protocols" (page 44)

•"Altering the Default Browser" (page 45)

•"Localization of ASEM" (page 45)

•"Changing the MIB Default Values" (page 46)

CAUTION

Altering the appearance of the ASEM involves altering

.properties files located in the properties sub-folder of the application installation. Nortel recommends that copies of the original .properties files be saved in a separate folder before altering them. These original files can be restored by replacing the altered the files in the properties directory.

Modifying Label Appearance

The alias.properties file lists the correspondence between MIB variables and the label used to describe that value in the application. To change the label used, perform this procedure:

Step Action

1Open the alias.properties file in a text editor. For Nortel 180 and AD Series switches, the file is located in <ASEM installation directory>/properties/Tigon. For Nortel Application Switches, the file is located in <ASEM installation directory>/properties/aws24.

2All entries in the file are listed in the following format:

MIB Variable=Description

Change the Description portion to reflect the new label to be used in the application.

Note: Changing the MIB Variable portion causes the application to use the system default value for the label.

3Save the changes made to the file. These changes are displayed the next time the application is started.
