3-20 ExtremeWare EPICenter Software Installation and User Guide
Starting ExtremeWare EPICenter
To have the settings you’ve entered take effect, many dialog boxes provide an Apply
button. This saves the settings on the page you are viewing, but the dialog box remains
open so you can make additional changes or change the settings on one of the other pages.
For example,you can specify a new VLAN on the Properties & Ports page as shown in
Figure 3-9, click Applyto commit those settings, then display the IP Forwarding settings
and make changes on that page.
Other dialog boxes may provide a button that executes the function of the dialog, such as
Add,orDelete.LiketheApplybutton, these often perform the function but leave the
dialog box open so you can perform additional operations.

are finished.
In addition, most dialog boxes provide a Reset button. This typically restores the dialog
box to the state it was in when it was invoked, clearing any selections on the screen and
resetting the data to the current information from the EPICenter database.
Printing from EPICenter
Printing is not supported in mostofthe EPICenterapplets. The exceptionsaretheRTStats
and Topology applets, which each provide a print function, and the HTML-based reports
(the Network Summary report and the Reports described in Chapter 15.
You can print the HTML reports using the browser print button. However, you should
click in the panel where the report is displayed to ensure that only that panel will be
printed.If youprint without doingthis, the Navigation Toolbarmay not be refreshed,and
you will need to refresh the client manually.
Running the EPICenter Server in Scalable Mode
Scalable mode allows you to manage a very large number of devices using the EPICenter
server while still maintaining reasonable response and performance. The trade-off is that
some of the EPICenter applets described later in this chapter will not be available in
Scalable Mode. These include:
• ExtremeView
• Real-Time Statistics
• Topology
