Find Objects by type

Find Objects by type allows you to find all the EMS objects of a specified type, on a specified MetaSwitch NE or on all NEs.

To find an object, specify one or more parameters that you want to match on, and choose Find. The lower half of the screen display changes to show all the objects that match the parameters you specified.

Find-Specific Actions
Find To find all the objects that match the parameters you have specified, click on this pushbutton.
Cancel To cancel a Find operation that is in progress, click on this pushbutton.
Reset To reset all the Find parameters back to their defaults so that you can start a new Find operation, click on this pushbutton.
Find more If there are more than 200 objects matching the parameters that you have specified, the EMS System Explorer initially shows only the first 200 objects. After you have finished with the first 200 objects, click on this pushbutton to display the next 200, and so on. When you reach the last group of objects in the list, the Find more pushbutton disappears.
