Setting Device Manager Preferences
• Show WorldWideName (WWN) Vendor—Displays the world wide name vendor name in any table
or listing displayed by Device Manager. If Prepend is checked, the name is displayed in front of the
IP address of the switch. If Replace is checked, the name is displayed instead of the IP address. The
default setting is enabled (checked) with the Prepend option.

not checked, timestamps are displayed as elapsed time. The default setting is enabled (checked).
• Telnet Path—Sets the path for the telnet.exe file on your system. The default is telnet.exe, but you
need to browse for the correct location.
Note If you browse for a path or enter a path and you have a space in the pathname (for example,
c:\program files\telnet.exe, then the path will not work. To get the path to work, manually
place quotes around it (for example, “c:\program files\telnet.exe”).

communicate with the switch. If enabled, you must specify the path to your SSH application. The
default setting is disabled.

to disable (no timeout value). The default setting is 30 seconds.
