3Com Network Director locates and selects the event source in the map, if necessary changing the viewed submap to one that contains the event source, centers the event source in the screen, zooms in to it and brings the map to the front. For devices, this is equivalent to double-clicking on the event source in the tree.

If you have disabled SNMP trap filtering then there may be some SNMP trap-based events logged whose event source does not correspond to any item in the map.
