Access Parameters
1. Select the Access tab to set access parameters for
a Device, Link, or Network object. For a
description of access parameters, please see
Table 3-1 Object Properties Access tab.
2. To change an access parameter, first select the
parameter name in the Attrib table.
The selected parameter name is displayed in the
Name box and the current value is in the Value
pull-down control.
3. In the Value pull-down, select one of the pull-
down values or type in a new value.
• Note that the Value pull-down does not
necessarily show all possible values for the
attribute.
• When editing multiple objects, any access parameter that has a different value for different
objects is shown as #####. Changing these attributes will set the new value for all selected
objects.
The following table describes the access parameters available in the Object Properties Access tab
for Device, Link, and Network objects. Access parameters are not valid for Subnet and Goto
object types.
