User interface
The McDATA Web Server and Element Manager applications share a common interface as shown in
Figure 3. The interface consists of a menu bar, fabric tree, graphic window, data windows (some with
buttons), and data window tabs. The switch faceplate is displayed in the graphic window and shows the
front of a single switch and its ports. The fabric name is displayed for reference in the fabric tree above the
switch names. Click a switch name or icon to display a different switch faceplate in the graphic window.
Information displayed in the data windows corresponds to the data window tab selected.
The Element Manager application uses a modified faceplate display with fewer menus, no fabric tree, and
fewer data window tabs.
