6.2 Network Topology
The Network topology is a hierarchical tree displaying hierarchy from the Organization to Eyes
and Access Points. The user can select from multiple ways to access the network: either via
monitoring stations or via the network’s service areas. Both methods support network testing,
but monitoring stations can only be managed by using their respective icons.
The network hierarchy is displayed as a tree, with an icon representing each item at each
node. If the item has functionality, you can bring it into view by right-clicking the icon.
