Using the Optivity Switch Manager window

The Optivity Switch Manager window:

•Displays a logical map of a network showing physical connectivity between devices.

•Provides tools to access other Optivity Switch Manager features.

•Allows you to launch Optivity Switch Manager submanagers.

After the initial discovery, other Optivity Switch Manager submanager applications allow you to monitor or configure discovered devices.

Note: The Optivity Switch Manager window remains open and can display highlighted devices after the Optivity Switch Manager submanager windows open. If you close the Optivity Switch Manager window while Optivity Switch Manager submanager windows are open, the submanagers also close.

Figure 1 shows the Optivity Switch Manager window.
