2. Edit the ctron.ini file by adding the following line under the heading
[SpectrumElementManager2]:
SrcAddrFileName=<pathname><ENETADDR.DEF>
where <pathname> is the path to the data directory in NetSight Element
Manager (by default, \NetSight Element Manager x.x\bin).
3. Save and close the ctron.ini file
4. Exit and re-start NetSight Element Manager, so that the changes to ctron.ini
will take effect.
Once you have configured this file, any Source Address window (like the one illustrated in
Figure 7-3) will include the text name you have assigned to a MAC address, as well as the
MAC address itself.
NOTE
For this function to work your ENETADDR.DEF file must be saved in a text-only format.
NOTE
You need not close, then re-open NetSight Element Manager after making edits to the
ENETADDR.DEF file; it’s only necessary after editing the ctron.ini file.
