Navigating and Managing a Network with the Network Explorer

You can navigate and manage your network using the Network Explorer. The Network Explorer is an
auto-hide window that displays a hierarchical view of your IzoT Commissioning Tool network and
supports all of the commands available within the drawing pages. You can use the Network Explorer
as a navigational tool or a network management tool. As a navigational tool, the Network Explorer
simplifies and accelerates the task of navigating through a large IzoT Commissioning Tool network. It
does this by displaying the network as a single tree with the devices, routers, functional blocks, and
network variables in the network listed in hierarchal order below their respective subsystems, channels,
and device templates. As a network management tool, the Network Explorer lets you configure and
modify the objects as you would in the drawing page. You just right-click an object in the Network
Explorer and click commands on the object’s shortcut menu.

To display or hide the Network Explorer, open the View menu and then select Network Explorer.
The objects displayed in the Network Explorer depend on the settings in the Network Properties:
