Forms Window

When a feature icon is selected on the navigation window, a status, statistics, or configuration
form is displayed in the forms window. The exact nature of the form depends on the current
context selected on the toolbar, as well as the type of information available. Not all feature
icons have forms for all contexts.

Some forms display switch information such as settings, status, or statistics. Others allow you
to make configuration changes to switch parameters.

Message Window

Switch log messages are generated by events such as login/logout activity, password changes,
configuration changes, and switch reboot. The BBI records the most recent messages and dis-
plays each one briefly in the message window. When the last message has been displayed, the
cycle is repeated.

To view all messages at the same time, select the Show Log command on the toolbar. A new
Web-browser window will be opened to display the log information. Close the window when
finished.

For a list of syslog messages, see your Alteon OS Command Reference manual.
