Front-Panel Images
You can manage the switch from a remote station by using the front-panel images. The front-panel
images are updated based on the network polling interval that you set from CMS > Preferences.
Note
The Preferences window is not available if your switch access level is read-only. For more
information about the read-only access mode, see the
“Access Modes in CMS” section on page 3-31
.
