Reference Manual for the ProSafe Network Management System NMS100

•Use the View All button to toggle the View All state for a selected map view. In this state, the view contents are automatically zoomed so that all icons are visible. As you change the size of the View window, the contents will change size. As the icon sizes get smaller, the icon image is hidden and then the name is hidden. If your top-level map is large and the View All state is enabled (default) you may only see small icons. Use the manual Zoom buttons to zoom in to an area of the map view.

•Use the Previous View and Next View buttons to move back and forth between different zoom levels you have selected.

Moving Map Objects

ProSafe NMS normally uses a discovery process to add subnets, devices, links, and networks in a logical topology that represents a two-level IP Subnet hierarchy. The top level includes all router devices and subnet icons. The second layer includes single-port devices linked to Bus Networks under the appropriate subnet icons. The top-level map is automatically arranged as a star network.

Map objects are placed on the nearest Map Grid Point when you move them. Use the Config/ Console Options menu and select the Show Grid check box to show map grid points. Set the grid size in the Grid Spacing edit box.

Moving Objects at the Root Level

Since the discovery agent continually arranges the top map level, before changing the root level manually you need to change the way discovery works. Use the Config/Discovery-Polling menu and then do one of the following:

•Clear the Enable Discovery check box so that discovery is completely disabled.

•Select Discovered Objects from the Layout pull-down so that any newly discovered objects are added to a separate subnet icon named Discovered Objects.

•Select Top Level/Incremental from the Layout pull-down so that any newly discovered objects are added using an incremental layout algorithm that does not disturb the existing layout.
