Using Device Manager dialog boxes
Many Device Manager dialog boxes contain editable fields that allow you to enter parameter values, and many of the parameters have predetermined possible values. For example, you may set a port to enabled or disabled. Other parameter values are ranges of user-determined values. For example, you can set the value for a system contact to be a name you enter in the SysContact field.
Editable fields in Device Manager windows are displayed in white. To change the value in a field, click the field. For parameters that have a predetermined set of possible values, you can click again, and a down arrow is displayed. When you click the down arrow, the possible choices for that parameter are displayed. To select a value, click it in the drop-down list.
For fields that do not have preset values, click the field and type the value.
When you enter values for IP addresses, MAC addresses, or time, follow these guidelines:
- Enter an IP address in decimal format:
- Enter a MAC address in hexadecimal format:
| Time is a value based on the delta from the computer system clock. |
