These selection lists can show the sites, cabinets, carriers, devices, device
groups, local devices, remote devices, and/or model types in your network,
depending upon the category you chose. An example is using the Selection
Browser to select all the devices associated with a site.
To add devices to the current device selection list (which could be empty)
using the Selection Browser, perform the following steps:
" Procedure
1. Choose Device Name. The device selection box appears.
2. Choose Add To Selection(s) and the Selection Browser dialog box appears
with the default selection Sites as the primary category.
3. Select one or more sites from those listed in the Sites category. All the
selected sites, as well as all cabinets, carriers, and devices at the site(s), are
displayed under their appropriate category name (see Figure A-3).
4. At this point, the device selection list (shown in reverse video under the
Devices category) consists of all the devices at the selected site(s).
5. Limit the device selection list (if desired) by selecting specific cabinet(s) or
carrier(s) listed for that site. For example, if a cabinet is selected, only the
devices in that cabinet will be highlighted in the device selection list.
6. Once you have finished your selection of device names for the device
selection list, choose OK. The devices that currently appear in the device
selection list are added to those that have already been previously selected
for the device selection list (if any). You then return to the device selection list
dialog box (see Figure A-1).
Use the preceding steps to add to the device selection list by highlighting
cabinets, carriers, device groups, etc. You can choose Cancel at any time to exit
the Selection Browser without changing the device selection list.
