When Pathport Manager starts, it automatically queries the network for all of the
connected Pathports. It then queries each unit for its' configuration information. If
Pathport nodes are detected on the network, "On-line" will appear in the bottom-
right corner of the window.
Pathport Manager's automatic discovery process should be visible in the Network
Tree. If there is no visible activity in the Network Tree, or if it remains empty, this
is a sign that there is a problem with the network setup. Please check your
network settings and re-start Pathport Manager.
If all of the connected Pathports are visible in the Network Tree, Pathport
Manager is now ready for its' first use.
When the program is first run, a default show file, called FirstTime is loaded. This
show file contains a number of Pathports that will not be present on the
network. The first step in setting up the system is to remove all of these nodes
from the show. To do this, right-click on any node in the Show Tree, and select
"Remove All Nodes From Show". A dialog box will pop up to ask for
confirmation. Click "OK".
The next step is to add all of the connected Pathports to the show. This is done
by right-clicking any node in the Network Tree, and selecting "Add All Nodes To
Show".
