Using External Tools
This section describes the following:
• ”About the External Tools Feature” on page 310
• Set Up External Tools - Lets you add a URL for accessing management software, such as Hitachi
HiCommand Device Manager and EMC ControlCenter™ Navisphere. See ”Setting up External
Tools” on page 311.
About the External Tools Feature
The management server ships with an external tools feature that lets you:
• Browse the Element - Access a host or a switch through its main Web page. The software
assumes the host or switch has a Web page at http://hsIPaddress, where hsIPaddress
is the IP address of the host or switch. To access the main Web page of the host or switch,
right-click the element in System Manager and select External Tools > Browse to 192.168.1.2,
where 192.168.1.2 is the IP address of the host or switch.
• Telnet to the Element - Access a host or a switch through the telnet utility. Telnet must be
already enabled on the element. The command uses telnet://hsIPaddress, where
hsIPaddress is the IP address of the host or switch. To telnet to a host or switch, right-click the
element in System Manager and select External Tools > Telnet to 192.168.1.2, where
192.168.1.2 is the IP address of the host or switch.

Option Description
CRLF (Default setting) Provides a carriage return and a linefeed.
Important: Do not use this option when you are using telnet to access
another computer. You must select the CR option after you enter a user
name to be able to enter a password. If you leave the setting at CRLF, the
software enters a carriage return and a line feed when you click OK. As a
result, no value is entered for the password.
CR Provides a carriage return.
LF Provides a linefeed.
