Identify - Use this feature to identify the device IP Address and its name. You use the identify feature by clicking with the right mouse button on the Topology View.

The Component View reflects the status of all the components that are being actively polled by a distributed polling agent (medp). For customers that do not want to use the platform maps, HPOV, Netview or SunNet Manager, the Transcend Topology Browser may be used as the main console.

For distributed viewing capability, the Topology Tool can be accessed via a web browser.
