Options Menu and Associated Tool Bar Buttons
Figure 2-16 shows the Setup and Help menus of the ECM Main window as
they would look if they could both be active at the same time. Table 2-7
describes the functions of the Option menu options and identifes the tool bar
buttons associated with those option selections.
View Host
Configuration...
Displays the host configuration.
If the letters on the button/option are visible, the configuration includes the
Cisco host configuration. If the letters are grayed-out, the selected
configuration does not include the host configuration.
ECM displays this option only if your device is a Cisco router and if the Cisco
router’s device type is included in the CISCO_MTYPES file. See Special
Features for Cisco Routers in Chapter 1.
External Apps Gives you access to applications external to ECM when in ECM.
When you click on External Apps and then select the Define/Edit option, the
External Application window appears. This window enables you to create
options for the External Apps menu. You can use the menu options that you
create to launch internal or external applications from ECM.
See Chapter 9 for more details.
Preferences... Allows you to define preferences for the current ECM session such as:
• Landscapes for locating configurations, templates, and devices.
• Save and Load settings.
• Attribute flag settings.
• Search.
• If you installed ECM with a custom installation, you defined the default
values for the Landscape, Save, Safe Load, and attribute flag settings at
installation.
• If you installed ECM with an auto install, ECM assigns certain default
values to the Landscape parameter. As a result, you may need to define
these defaults in the Preferences window when you first invoke ECM.
Then, to make the changes permanent, you must modify the ECM resource
file, Ecm. See Appendix B for details.
