Device Manager - Online Help

Editing objects

Depending on the object selected, you can edit objects and values in the Device Manager in several ways. To edit an object, do one of the following:

• Choose an object on the graphical representation, and then click the Edit component on the toolbar button. The Edit window opens for that object.
• In a dialog box, click Edit button.
• From a chassis, MDA, or port shortcut menu, choose Edit. The Edit dialog box opens for that object.

When you change values in a field, you can see fields that have been changed but not applied. Changed fields have the following characteristics:

• In a Windows environment, the value is underlined.
• In a UNIX environment, the value is displayed in bold.
  
  

  Note: To make permanent changes in the configuration, click Apply. Changes are not applied to Device Manager until you click Apply.

  
  
  
  

  Note: After you apply changes to fields, many windows contain a Refresh button. Click Refresh to display new information in the window.
