- Managing Device Type Definitions
Settings Resources Device Type Manager
NetCrunch Device List Editor displays the table lists all currently defined network devices recognized by the device group.
Each device contains the following information:
- Icon
- Specifies the icon to be used by the device in NetCrunch. The icon with this name and corresponding image must directly relate to one of the defined in the list in the Properties window of Node Settings
(Node Settings> Properties > Default icon).
During network scanning, when NetCrunch recognizes a device based on the sysObjectID value, it will use the particular icon specified here to display it in the Network View window. - Name
- Specifies the name that will be associated with the device in NetCrunch.
- sysObjectID
- Specifies the MIB object identifier of the device (based on the unique sysObjectID value).
If an incorrect value is filled in, NetCrunch is not able to discover and distinguish the device during the scanning process and add the corresponding icon on a map in the Network View window. - Description
- Specifies short information related to the device based on sysDescr value.
Some devices may be recognized by NetCrunch based solely on their sysDescr value instead of the sysObjectID.
