• Change the location of the browser used to view the online help.
• Enable (default) or disable the use of the Initial Start Dialog at the beginning of a session. See ”Starting
McDATA Web Server” on page 14 for information about the Initial Start Dialog. After a default fabric
view file is created, this setting has no effect.

Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog as shown in Figure 4, the next time McDATA
Web Server or McDATA Element Manager is started, all events will be displayed. If the Event Browser
is disabled when McDATA Web Server or McDATA Element Manager is started and later enabled,
only those events from the time the Event Browser was enabled and forward will be displayed.

the current port type (default), port speed, port operational state, or port transceiver media. Regardless
of the default port view you choose, you can change the port view in the faceplate display by opening
the View menu and selecting a different port view option. See the corresponding subsection for more
