Enable (default) or disable the use of the Initial Start Dialog at the beginning of a SANsurfer Switch Manager session. Refer to ”Starting SANsurfer Switch Manager” on page 2-8for information about the Initial Start Dialog. After a default fabric view file is created, this setting has no effect.

Enable (default) or disable the Event Browser. Refer to ”Displaying the Event Browser” on page 3-11. If the Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog shown in Figure 2-5, the next time SANsurfer Switch Manager is started, all events will be displayed.

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.
