3Com Network Director locates and selects the event source in the map,
if necessary changing the viewed submap to one that contains the event
source, centers the event source in the screen, zooms in to it and brings
the map to the front. For devices, this is equivalent to double-clicking on
the event source in the tree.
If you have disabled SNMP trap filtering then there may be some SNMP
trap-based events logged whose event source does not correspond to
any item in the map. These events have “(not in map)” appended to the
event source’s name in the Name column of the Events list. 3Com

events in the map.

an event that has already been commented on, select the event and then
select Event > Comment. This will launch the Comment dialog box:
