4.2.4 Creating a dLAN network
If your dLAN devices are in the list of "Unused devices", you can create a net-
work architecture in the database quite easily. Use the mouse to move devices
one-by-one from the list to the network opened in the "dLAN network" window
by dragging and dropping them.
The network mode (P2P or MDU) for the respective network determines its net-
work hierarchy. You have to pay attention to this hierarchy when creating P2P
networks and MDU networks.
4.2.4.1 Creating a P2P network
By nature each P2P network has a flat network hierarchy because all of the
dLAN devices in the P2P network communicate with each other at the same hi-
erarchy level. Thus you can very easily map these kinds of networks in the data-
base by using the mouse to drag dLAN devices from the list of "Unused devices"
to the network opened in the "dLAN network" window.
If a dLAN device is locally connected to your dLAN AVpro manager via Ethernet,
this device is displayed in the network tree offset outwards to indicate the spe-
cial role of the respective device.
Dragging a device from the network tree back to the list of "Unused devices"
removes the device from the network. This automatically resets the device to its
factory default settings and makes it available as a "free device" once again.
In order to rename your network, you have to perform a 'slow double-click' on
the network name. This opens the input field for the network name.
