236 CHAPTER 6: VIEWING DEVICE DETAILS
By default, only units and aggregated links are displayed in the tree. To
display ports within a unit you need to expand the corresponding tree
node to view its contents.
To expand a tree node and view the contents, click on the + icon next to
the folder icon.
To collapse a tree node and hide the contents, click on the - icon next to
the folder icon.
To view information on a specific unit, port, or aggregated link, select the
corresponding tree node by clicking on it. This updates the tabbed pane
on the right-hand side of the dialog box.
The Properties dialog box shows the tree only if a single map item is
selected and that map item is a device.
