About the Network Map View

The Network Map view displays information about the IP conferencing network in the form of graphic maps created for each node in the Network hierarchy. For more information, see the "About the Network Tree View" section on page 14-1.

The top level of the Network Map view displays the network root and the zones into which the network is divided. Each square represents either the network root, a zone (or user-defined folder) or a single element. Each square includes the following information:

•Current status

•Number of calls

•Number of conferences

•Number of registered participants versus capacity

•Number of B-channels handled by gateways versus capacity

•Total bandwidth handled by gatekeepers versus capacity

In addition, inter-zone bandwidth information appears above the zones when relevant.

Element Control

The Network Map view contains the following five buttons:

•Add element

•Edit element

•Delete element

•Find element

•Auto-detect elements

For more information about these actions, see Chapter 19, "Finding and Managing Elements".

Note These buttons are also available in the Network Tree view and the Network Map view.
