Across the top of the Adapters tab are navigation tools that allow you to quickly move through large numbers of records. These tools include the following:

• <<first: Takes you to the first page of records.
• <prev: Takes you back one page.
• Page Number: Current page number is displayed.
• next>: Takes you forward one page.
• last>>: Takes you to the last page.
• Drop-down Box: Allows you to select the number of records to be displayed on each page.

Enter a single piece of data to quickly display a list of adapters. Search options include: IP address, MAC address, host name, User Name, and user ID. Drop-down arrow on the right is used to create and use custom filters.

If you are doing a wild card search for a MAC address you must include colons as separators, such as 00:B6:5*. Without the separators the search option cannot distinguish that it is a MAC address.

When Quick Search is enabled, the word Search appears before the search field. When a custom filter is enabled, Edit appears before the search field.
