About Network
Access the Network page to see an overview of the location and all the devices in your network. You can also note other networks and devices nearby. You can select the network and then see more details about that network and devices and how they are all working.
The Network page provides an overview of the network as either a geographic map showing the location and status of each site in the network, or as a list of all sites.
In the Map View, the number displayed on each network icon indicates the number of outstanding notifications that exist for that site, and the color of the icon indicates the highest severity level outstanding.
Note |
When two or more network icons are positioned too closely on the map to be easily distinguished, they will be replaced with a single cluster icon. Click on the cluster icon to automatically zoom the map to a level where the networks in that cluster can be separated. |
