Closing the Element Manager
To close the Element Manager, use the following methods:
•
Select Product > Close.
•
Click the X at the top right corner of the Element Manager window.
•
Double-click the icon at the top left corner of the Element Manager window, or right-click the
icon and click Close from the menu that displays.
Feature keys
Feature keys verify ownership of the Element Manager and optional features that can be purchased
for the Element Manager. The feature key, which is encoded with a switch’s serial number, can
only be configured on the switch or director to which it is assigned.
When you purchase additional Element Manager features, you receive a feature key. The feature
keys that you are currently using are included in this key.
Here are some important notes about the Element Manager feature key introduced with this
release:
•
All edge switches that were purchased prior to the release of firmware 06.00.00 automatically
have the Element Manager feature enabled when their firmware is upgraded to version
06.00.00 or later. However, the feature key for the Element Manager is not added or
incorporated into the existing feature key.
•
Enabling the Reset Configuration option through the Element Manager Maintenance
menu clears all features that were enabled through the Configure Feature Key dialog box. (See
Configuring a feature key” on page 104
for more information.) When you attempt to reinstall
features using a feature key assigned for an edge switch prior to the release of 06.00.00, a
warning displays that the Element Manager feature key is not installed. You must contact
customer support to get a feature key reassigned that includes the Element Manager feature.
•
For switches shipped to you with firmware version 06.01.00 or later installed, you must
activate the feature keys through the Configure Feature Key dialog box in the Element
Manager. See ”
Configuring a feature key” on page 104
for more information.
