cannot create two networks with names that differ only in
capitalization.
The initial default network name is “Network 1”. OpenLNS CT
automatically increments the index in the default network name so
that the network names are unique for subsequent networks you
create using the default name. After you create a network with a
different name than the initial default, the default network name will
become the last network created with an incremented index. For
example, if you create a new network named “Test”, the default
network name will be “Test 1”. If you create the “Test 1” network,
the default network name will become “Test 2”, and so on.
Create Network Creates and opens a new OpenLNS CT network design consisting of
a new OpenLNS network database and a new OpenLNS CT
drawing.
Show all options Displays all the pages in the Network Wizard as the network is

Open Copy Opens a copy of the OpenLNS CT drawing specified in the Drawing
Name list, making a copy of the OpenLNS CT drawings and the
associated OpenLNS network database. This copy is created like a
new network. (You will be prompted to choose a new top-level
