You can specify which view (Appliances, Devices, Sites, or Folders) is visible on
startup or you can let the Explorer determine it. For more information, see
"Selected view on startup" on page 30.
You can change the order and sorting of the Unit list by clicking the sort bar
above the column. An upward-pointing arrow in a column header indicates that
the list is sorted by that field name in ascending order. A downward-pointing
arrow indicates the list is sorted by that field name in descending order.

Adding a switch
Before you can access the switch through the software, you must add it to the
software database. After a switch is added, it is visible in the Unit list. You can
either manually add or discover a switch.
To manually add a switch with an assigned IP address, complete the following
steps:
1.
Complete one of the following steps:
•
Select File-New-Appliance from the Explorer menu.
•
Click the New Appliance button.
The New Appliance Wizard opens. Click Next.
2.
Select the type of switch you are adding. Click Next.
3.
Click Yes to indicate that the switch has an assigned IP address, then click
Next.
4.
Type the IP address and click Next.
5.
The software searches for the switch.
The software searches for the indicated unit as well as all the powered
adapter cables and target device names you associated with it in the
local interface, if any.
The Enter Cascade Switch Information window opens if the software
detects an attached cascade switch. This window contains a list of all
ports and adapter cable eIDs (Electronic Identification Numbers)
retrieved from the switch and the tiered switch types to which they are
connected, if any. When this window first opens, all switches are set to
None. Detected switches have an icon next to the pull-down menu.
