Note When you switch to a different program and then return to Cisco MGM, the Cisco MGM dialog boxes
might be hidden behind another Cisco MGM window or dialog box. The Cisco MGM client might
appear frozen because the hidden dialog box requires user action. On a Windows workstation, press
Alt-Tab to display all running processes. Continue to press Tab (while keeping Alt depressed) to select
the icon for the Java process. This will position the Cisco MGM dialog box as the top active window.
On a Solaris workstation, minimize the open windows until the Cisco MGM dialog box is visible.
