You can also access these parameters by right-clicking on the map background. The background popup menu also
includes menu items for hiding the legend, disabling the Map tool tips, and disabling the Panner tool tips.

The panner lets you display a portion of your map. Click on Show Panner to display it in the lower right corner of
your map. Using your mouse, drag a rectangle in the panner over the section of the network that you would like
enlarged in your map. To restore the map to its original size, click Fit to Window.

Map Control Options

There are several parameters you can set to control how your map looks and how often it is refreshed. Click on the
Options button at the bottom of the map page to access these options.

When you have completed your selections, click on the Apply button to save them. To close the window without
making any changes, click on OK. The Cancel button cancels any changes that you have not yet applied. Click on
the Views button to select the style of map layout that you prefer.

Locating a Node

To locate a particular end node, click the Locate button at the bottom of the Topology Map browser window. In the
Locate browser window, select the network that the node is in, then select the node. Click on the Locate button to
locate the node. A dialog box displays stating that the node has been found and the appropriate map is opened (if it
is not open already). Select Pan in the dialog box to set the panner window so that the located item is enlarged and
centered in the map. If "Show labels" is turned on, the label under the located device is displayed in reverse video.
