To save name server information to a file, open the topology display and do the

You can use the beacon feature to page a switch. The beacon feature causes all 
Logged-In LEDs to flash, making it easier to recognize. To page a switch, open 
the Switch menu in the faceplate display and enable the Toggle Beacon 
selection. To cancel the beacon, reselect Toggle Beacon.

To set the date and time on a switch, do the following:

1.

Select a switch in the topology display, and open the faceplate display.

2.

Open the Switch menu, and select Set Date/Time....

3.

Enter the year, month, day and time in the Switch Date and Time dialog, 
then click OK. The new date and time take effect immediately.

You can set temperature thresholds by which the switch will generate an alarm or 
place the switch offline. The Temperature Thresholds dialog shown in 

 

prompts you to enter a warning threshold and a failure threshold temperature (°C).

„

If the switch internal temperature exceeds the warning threshold, the switch 
generates an alarm.

„

If the switch internal temperature exceeds the failure threshold and the 
Enable Temperature Failure Port Shutdown box is checked, the switch 
generates an alarm and places all ports down. After correcting the problem, 
you must reset the switch to bring the ports back online.
