Setting Device Manager Preferences
To set your preferences for the behavior of the Device Manager application, choose Device >
Preferences from the Device menu. You can set the following preferences:
• Retry requests x time(s) after x sec timeout—Allows you to set the retry request values. The default
settings are 1 time after a 5-second timeout.
• Enable status polling every x secs—Allows you to set the status polling value. The default setting is
enabled (checked) with a time of 40 seconds.
• Trace SNMP packets in Message Log—Allows you to set whether Device Manager traces SNMP
packets and logs the trace. The default setting is disabled (unchecked).
• Register for Events after Open, listen on Port 1163—Allows you to register this switch so that events
are logged once you open Device Manager. The default setting is enabled (checked).
• Confirm Deletion—Displays a popup confirmation when you delete part of your configuration using
Device Manager. The default setting is enabled (checked).
• Show WorldWideName (WWN) Vendor—Displays the world wide name vendor name in any table
or listing displayed by Device Manager. If Prepend is checked, the name is displayed in front of the
IP address of the switch. If Replace is checked, the name is displayed instead of the IP address. The
default setting is enabled (checked) with the Prepend option.

not checked, timestamps are displayed as elapsed time. The default setting is enabled (checked).

need to browse for the correct location.
Note If you browse for a path or enter a path and you have a space in the pathname (for example,
c:\program files\telnet.exe, then the path will not work. To get the path to work, manually
place quotes around it (for example, "c:\program files\telnet.exe").

communicate with the switch. If enabled, you must specify the path to your SSH application. The
default setting is disabled.

to disable (no timeout value). The default setting is 30 seconds.
• Show Tooltips in Physical View—Determines whether tooltips are displayed in Physical (Device)
View. The default setting is enabled (checked).

Physical (Device) View. The options are FICON and Interface. The default setting is Interface.
