Commands in the Config menu let you set Network Manager preferences, configure notifications, use login commands, and do other general tasks.
Options > Poll Disable
Stops periodic status checks of each node in the map. You can still manage devices, though. The Poll keyword in the status bar is gray when polling is disabled.
Options > Save Layout On Exit
If selected, saves the Network Manager window layout when exit. The command has a check mark when this option is on.
Options > Use MAC Address as Node Name
Displays the node name or IP address in MIB tables where the MAC address would normally appear. For example, with this option on, the PhysAddress entry in the ARP Table list might display 135.120.100.59/4 (port 4 of that IP address) instead of 00 AA 00 19 35 C5. This occurs only if that MAC address is assigned to the port of a node in your map. You can see the actual MAC address by double-clicking the table entry or turning this option off.
Options > Applications On Top
Makes all utility applications (such as Intel® device viewers or Trend Watch) belong to the Network Manager main window. These windows are then always displayed on top of Network Manager. When you minimize Network Manager, these applications are minimized as well. With this option off, when you display a statistics table from an Intel device viewer, for example, the device viewer is covered up by Network Manager.
Options > European Date Format
Changes the log file's date format to show day before month (25/6/95 for June 25th). With this option off, the month is first (6/25/96). This
doesn't change already existing log entries.
Serial Number
Displays or changes the Network Manager installation serial number. You may need to use this command to change a temporary (demonstration) serial number to a permanent serial number.
Save Layout
Saves the window layout now. The next time you start Network Manager, the windows now open are displayed in the same locations.
Poll Retries
Sets the maximum number of times that Network Manager repeats an SNMP request before giving up, and the timeout period to wait before retrying the request.
Notifications
Configures alerts for when an event occurs. The Notifications dialog box displays all of the current event filters (alerts) and lets you add others.
Compile MIB
Compiles SNMP MIB source files. This happens automatically when you first start Network Manager. If you later add network devices with their own MIBs, copy the .mib files to the \ldnm\mibfiles subdirectory and choose this command.
Custom Menus
Moves and deletes custom menu options from the Manage menu. To add a custom menu, display a MIB table, select the data you want quick access to, and click Menu.
Log In
Lets you log in as a different user. A dialog box prompts you for a user name and password. If you log in as a different user, Network Manager closes the current map, opens the other user's map, and restores the window layout previously saved for that user.
Log Out
Lets you log out of Network Manager as a user but continues checking the status map nodes. Network Manager closes all windows and disables all commands except the Log In command.
User List
Adds new users and sets user access levels in the User Setup dialog box. This command may be limited, depending on your own privileges. At Supervisor level you can create and delete users and change any password. At Operator level you can change only your own password. At Observer level, the command is disabled.
