Adding Links

This option allows you to add links to external programs that manage the fibre channel hubs, switches, and routers.  These links may point to installed application software, Web URLs—anything that can be opened by double-clicking it.

You can configure eight links for each network component. A link is a name you define to associate to a file. This file can be a number of different things, including an executable program, an HTML address, or a bitmap file. Then, you can click on this name to open or launch this file with the appropriate program.

When at least one link is configured, it appears in the menu item when you right-click the network component.

  3. In the first box, type the name you would like to associate with this link.

  4. Type the location of the file in the appropriate box, or browse for the file.
