4.0 BUILDING A NETWORK MAP

This section explains how to create a network map of your system using

NETview’s built-in tools. Network maps provide a graphical overview

of the system being monitored, and are essential to the operation of the

program. No control or monitoring can be performed without first cre-

ating a network map.

HINT: Prior to creating a network map in the NETview program, it is

recommended that the layout of the system be drawn on paper

for use as a planning aid—especially if it is a large system that

includes sub-networks or links to other systems. The drawing

should clearly identify all units in the network, their IP

addresses and their relation to other pieces of equipment.

a. Verify that the map is unlocked. To do this, select

File from the

top menu bar and view the lock status. If the Lock Map command

appears, the map is currently unlocked. If

Unlock Map is dis-

played, select it (or enter Ctrl-K on the keyboard) to unlock the

map.

b. With the map unlocked, select

File>>Load to display the Load

Map screen (Figure 13).

c. Click New Map. A dialog box appears for entering a name for the

new map. Enter the desired name and click

OK.

of network elements (icons). These icons are used to represent
