Copy/Paste/Delete Panel Information

The EM also provides a unique feature that will allows the network operator to more efficiently
configure the network by allowing all panel-level information to be copied from one panel to
another. The Copy Panel and Paste Panel options under the Tools pull-down menu provide an
easy mechanism to perform this task.

Once a panel is highlighted in the Tree View of the Network area on the system-level opening
screen, the View Panel Screen for that panel will appear. Using the Copy Panel capability, will
copy all panel-level information into a buffer. By then selecting another panel on the Tree View of
the Network, perhaps a newly added panel, the paste panel capability is used to paste the panel-
level information (Panel Attributes, SNMP Settings and Trap Settings) from the first panel to this
second one. The paste panel capability can continue by selecting another panel and selecting
the Paste Panel option again.

NOTE:

The Paste Panel option does not overwrite the IP Addressing information for the
panels. (See page 33, Edit Panel Information, for more information.)

The Delete Panel option under the Tools pull-down menu provide an easy mechanism to delete a
panel from the EM. This may be required if panels are being pulled from the network. Once a
panel is highlighted in the Tree View of the Network area on the system-level opening screen, the
View Panel Screen for that panel will appear. Using the Delete Panel capability will erase all
panel-level information in the EM for this panel.
