FMS Mode Parameter Descriptions (Continued)
Description
Controls director console behavior for alerts.
Enabling this mode prompts the director consoles to display a warning whenever
you attempt an action that will change switch parameters. When you disable this
mode, no warning is displayed. In this case, in which Web Tools is the director
console, warning messages are displayed by Web Tools regardless of the setting of
the parameter, since Web Tools always displays warning messages when you apply a
change to a switch that changes parameters.
This parameter is always read-only in Web Tools. Each time that the switch is
powered on, the parameter is reset to disabled.
Controls behavior for attempts to set the switch timestamp clock through the
director console.
When it is enabled, the director console (Web Tools, in this case) displays warning
indications when the switch timestamp is changed by a user application. When it is
disabled, you can activate a function to automatically set the timestamp clock. There
is no indication for timestamp clock setting.
This parameter is set as disabled by the hardware after system installation, and can
be reset by Web Tools.
Determines whether host programming allows modifying port connectivity.
Enabling this mode prohibits host programming control of port connectivity;
otherwise, host programming can manage port connectivity.
This parameter is set as disabled by the hardware after system installation. and can
