You can also annotate any object in your maps by adding an Object Note; the following sections describe how to add non-management graphic objects to your map, as well as how to add an Object Note to any object.

Using Non-manageable Symbols

In addition to the device icons described in the previous sections, you can also add symbol icons to your map to represent network devices you cannot — or choose not to — manage via NetSight Element Manager. A library of predefined symbols are provided, or you can define your own symbols by adding additional bitmap images.

Symbols — even those which look just like device icons — do not report status and do not provide access to management.

Placing a Symbol Icon

To add an existing symbol to your map:

1.If necessary, open or activate the map to which you wish to add a symbol. None of the Draw toolbar options will be available unless at least one map is open and active.

2.Click the Symbol icon from the toolbar. or
