EliteView is a powerful network management platform that is designed to meet all your needs. To maximize
system usability and functionality, EliteView takes full advantage of all user and programming interfaces available
in the Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP and Vista environments.
You can easily customize EliteView by editing the NETMGR.INI, TRAP.INI and the configuration files found in
the EliteView directory (C:\EV60). These files use the general format of the Windows initialization file. This
chapter describes the contents of these INI files.
EliteView’s Initialization Files
The initial settings for the EliteView program modules are found in several different initialization files. The default
directory for initialization files is C:\EV60. To view these files, use any word processor or text editor
(e.g., NOTEPAD.EXE). Initialization files are also included for the platform program and several other EliteView
modules as described below. You may modify these files to meet your particular needs. (However, be sure to
maintain backup copies of the original initialization files.) Detailed examples of how to modify these files are
provided in the following sections.
Inside the NETMGR.INI File
