Selecting ports
Ports are selectable and serve as access points for other displays and menus. You
select ports to display information about them in the data window or to modify
them. Context-sensitive popup menus are displayed when you right-click the
faceplate image or on a port icon. See Chapter 5. Managing ports for detailed port
information.
Selected ports in the faceplate display are outlined in cyan color. You can select
ports the following ways.
• To select a port, click the port.
• To select all ports, right-click the faceplate image and select Select All Ports from
the popup menu.
• To select a range of consecutive ports, click a port, press the Shift key and click
another port. The web applet selects both end ports and all ports in between the
end ports.
Notes:
When using the Shift key to select a range of ports, the first port you click in the
range is the anchor selection. Subsequent ranges are based on this anchor
selection. For example, after clicking port 4 and port 9 respectively, port 4
becomes the anchor selection. The next range includes all ports between port 4
and the next port you select.
• To select several non-consecutive ports, press the Control key while clicking each
port.
• To un-select ports in a group of selected ports, press the Control key while
clicking each port.
• To cancel a selection, press the Control key and select it again.
Setting QuickTools preferences
The preferences settings allow you to perform the following tasks:
• Change the location of the working directory in which to save files.
• Change the location of the browser used to view the online help. The Browser
Location field is not supported/displayed for Mac OS X.
• Select a Display Dialog When Making Non-secure Connections option. If
enabled, the Non-secure Connections Check dialog is displayed when you
attempt to open a non-secure fabric. You then have the option of opening a
non-secure fabric. If disabled, you cannot open a fabric with a non-secure
connection.
• Enable (default) or disable the Event Browser. See ”Event Browser” on page 3-16.
If the Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog as shown in
Figure 4, the next time QuickTools is started, all events will be displayed. If the
Event Browser is disabled when QuickTools is started and later enabled, only
those events from the time the Event Browser was enabled and forward will be
displayed.
