Comparison of the Extensions Dialog Box and the Extension Enabler Dialog Box

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

The Extensions dialog box and the Extension Enabler dialog box look similar; they are both based on a grid and have identical column headings and have some of the same buttons. However, they configure different aspects of the product:
