Basic or Advanced Display Mode
The product supports many features, and therefore the WEB GUI includes hundreds of configuration and
display pages. These pages are divided into the following display modes:
• Basic—Basic subset of configuration options are available. If you are missing some configuration option,
select the Advanced mode in the device header.
• Advanced—Full set of configuration options are available.
When the user switches from basic to advanced, the browser reloads the page. However, after reload, the user
stays on the same page. When the user switches from advanced to basic, the browser reloads the page. If the
page exists also on the basic mode, the user stays on the same page. If the page does not exist in the basic
mode, the browser will load the first page of the folder which was used by the user. If the folder does not
exist, the Getting Started page will be displayed.
If there is advanced configuration, and the page is loaded in basic mode, a page-level message will be displayed
to the user (e.g. there are 2 radius server configured but in basic mode only a single server can be displayed,
or there is 802.1X port authentication with time range configured but time range is not visible in basic mode).
When switching from one mode to another, any configuration which was made on the page (without Apply)
is deleted.
