Shortcut Symbols

You may have two devices on your network that are physically linked to each other, but that do not exist on the same subnet. When you are viewing the devices in your network grouped by subnets, there is no submap in which both devices are visible.

However, provided one of the devices is visible in the submap, 3Com Network Directorcan still draw the physical link between the two devices using a shortcut symbol to represent the other device.

The shortcut icon used is similar to the normal device icon, but is grayed-out, and has an arrow displayed in the lower left-hand corner. The submap that the device belongs to displays in parentheses after the device's label.
