ation, such as a facility map. Data readings from Locations
where data is being collected can be dragged over to the

being recorded. See “Adding Dashboard Images” on page 86.
• Device Properties (lower right pane) tabs:
• Device Details : View and modify specific Channel properties.
• Host Details : Use the Options menu to restart the Host Ser-
vice (as required), or modify communication properties. With
the right-click menu on a selected Host, you can also test net-
work communications (ICMP Ping Host), or activate automatic
identification of vNet devices (Enable viewLinc Aware
Service).
Creating Zones
By default, there is one Zone folder created automatically, System. It can
be renamed at any time, perhaps with your company name.
Additional Zones are created manually. You can quickly add a Location to
a Zone with the right-click menu option, Add Location, or drag a
Channel or Device to the new folder.
Note: If no Devices display in the middle Devices pane, your Devices
may not be connected properly. For Vaisala Veriteq Devices, try
Discovering Devices - see “Discovering Devices” on page 31, or
contact your network administrator.
For more information about connecting Devices and enabling or disabling
Channels, refer to the specific Device User Guides.
To add a Zone:
1 From the viewLinc desktop, choose Options | System Configuration
| Locations Manager . Right-click the System folder and select
Add Zone .
