The Customs Views section lists maps that are only a partial view of the logical representation of the network (as displayed in the IP Networks section).
It is only possible to insert a node into a map in the Customs Views section, provided it was manually created (static) type.
Manual node insertion is not possible for the dynamic view map type, whose contents are updated automatically by the program.
To insert a node into Custom Views map:
- In the Atlas Maps window, select any manually created map from the Custom Views section.
- From the Edit menu, select
Insert-> Node. - In the Map field you can specify the map name. Otherwise, click the Select Map icon.
- From the list in the Select Map window, select the desired map.
- If you know the name or the IP address of the node, enter it in the Node IP Address or DNS Name field. Otherwise, click the Select Node icon.
- From the list in the Select Node window, select the node that you want to insert on the selected map.
- In the Network Mask field enter the network mask for the node (it will only be applied to new nodes that are added) and click
OK.
Note:
In step 2, you may click anywhere in the Main window and from its context menu select Insert->Node.
You may insert more than one node into a blank map, at once. To do so, in step 4, use the CTRL key to select the nodes that you want to add to the manually created map.
If the node you are interested in adding is not shown on the list of the Select Node window (in step 4), it is unknown to the program (it is not currently being monitored). This means it has not been discovered during the network scanning step, or it was not inserted into the IP Networks section maps.
After step 5, you may also select the Open Monitoring Properties Window For New Node check box to immediately have the ability to change the node monitoring properties - the Monitoring Properties window for the node will be opened after the actual add operation is performed.
