Note When you customize the location of the NE icons in the Network Map, make sure to take account of the NEs that you cannot see due to the layer rate that you selected. If you customize the map on one layer rate and then change the layer rate, NE icons and links might overlap because of the layer rate discrepancies.

3.6.6 Creating Links

Step 1 Open the Create Link wizard using one of the following methods:

• From the Network Map—Select the source NE and choose Configuration > Create Link (or right-click the NE and choose Create Link). Connect the line to the destination NE. The Create Link wizard opens.

•From the Domain Explorer or Subnetwork Explorer—Select the source NE and choose Configuration > Create Link (or right-click the NE and choose Create Link). The pointer changes to a plus sign; select the destination NE or group. The Create Link wizard opens.

Note If the Esc key is pressed while the cross mark is enabled, the operation is canceled and the cross mark returns to a pointer.

Note Table 3-12describes the fields in the Create Link wizard. Fields shown depend on the NE selected.

Step 2 Create the link, as follows:

a.Enter the following information in the Link Attributes panel:

•Name

•Description

•Layer

•Layer detail

Note Links from a Not Managed/Other Vendor NE to a CTC-based or Not Managed/Other Vendor NE will have a link rate of Not Applicable. Links from a CTC-based NE to a Not Managed/Other Vendor NE will have the link rate allowed for the CTC-based NE.
