USAGE

Showing current values
Clicking the "Get" button will cause a get request to be made for retrieving the current values for all attributes in the specified group. These values are displayed in the center portion of the tool window. If the group is a table, you are prompted to fill in the "Key" field. If no key field is entered, snm_set will display the first row in the center tool window, retrieve all the potential keys for that table, and provide a menu that can be used to select a key.

Building up a set request
In the center portion of the tool window, there are three columns showing the Attribute Name , its Current Value (if a "Get" has been made previously), and its New Value field. If the attribute is settable, there will be a line in the New Value column. Settable attributes that are enumerations will have a menu displayed in the New Value column from which new values can be selected.

To change a settable attribute, enter the new value in the New Value column and press Return. The new value will be shown in the list in the Set Information window.

Deleting settings
To delete a setting from the Set Information window, select the setting line, and use the "Delete Selection" option from the "Delete" menu. The "Delete All" option from the "Delete" menu will delete all the settings from the Set Information window.

Saving and restoring settings
Settings can be saved and restored to the Set Information window using the "Load" or "Save" option from the "File" menu.

Executing the set request
Clicking the "Set" button will cause the settings in the Set Information window to be made. The footer will display a message indicating whether the setting was successful. If the setting was successful, the Set Information window will be cleared.

Undo the last set request
Clicking the "Unset" button will restore the settings before the last Set request. The footer will display a message indicating whether the unsetting was successful.
