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 LonMaker 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 LonMaker 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:
Network Explorer options category. By default subsystems, devices, and functional blocks are
displayed. To expand or reduce the scope of the objects displayed in the Network Explorer, open the
LonMaker menu, click LonMaker Options, select Network Explorer from the Options Category
list, and then select the desired scope under the Displayed Objects box. See Network Explorer
Options in Appendix A for more information.
