Adding or Removing links between objects

For better readability Monitor one uses different line styles and colors for different link types. You can set the default link type for each individual map. The selected link type for a map is shown at the bottom of the map window. The default link type setting for a map is NOT saved to the database and defaults to "UTP/STP" each time Monitor one is restarted!

The current Monitor one version supports four different link types.

• UTP/STP, blue line
• Fiber, green line
• Serial, thin gray line
• "Point to point or Shared coax", thick gray line

Selecting a link type

1. Switch to Designer mode.
2. Move to the map from which to set the default link type.
3. Right-click anywhere on the map and select Set link type from the popup menu.
4. Select one of the available link types.
5. The status bar changes according to your selection.
