Although the sample input file shown here assigns a different Image ID value to each new

TIP image, images of different types can share Image IDs. For example, each image added by this input file could have been assigned the same Image ID, as long as that ID value was not being used by another image of the same type.

Executing the AddImage Command

Once you have created the necessary input files, you can run the AddImage utility via the Run window, as follows:

1.Make sure NetSight Element Manager and all of its components are shut down; the AddImage utility will not run if NetSight Element Manager is running.

2.Select Start—>Runfrom the Windows Start button, then enter the following command in the Open field:

C:\NetSight Element Manager x.x\bin\AddImage.exe [/M] [/D] input_filename

where:

/M or /m signals that the input file is in multi-line tag/data format

/D or /d signals that the input file is in CSV format, but does not contain the initial descriptive line

input_filename specifies the path and filename of your input file

3.Click OK to launch the utility.

If the tool did not run successfully, an error message will appear, indicating the source of the problem. Note that the tool stops executing at the first error, so if your file contains multiple errors, they will only be detected one at a time. If no message windows appear, the tools have been added successfully.

NOTE

Once you have added images to the NetSight Element Manager framework, they can only be removed by using the Restore from new function in the Data File Manager (described in Backing Up Data Files in Chapter 2, Overview of NetSight Element Manager). This will restore all configurable files to their default values.
