components of that device.
■ For modular devices the hierarchy lists the device as the top-level
folder, the modules as folders at the next level and the known links to
the device as nodes within the appropriate modules at the lowest
level.
■ For stacked devices the hierarchy lists the stack as the top-level folder,
the units as folders at the next level and the known links to the device
as nodes within the appropriate units at the lowest level.
