Main Window
The main window is the control center for configuring and managing your RASExpress
servers.
Title Bar
The title bar shows the IP address of the management workstation and the name and path of
the active map file.
Menu Bar
The menu bar contains menus for controlling MultiManager itself, for configuring and
managing your servers, for displaying statistics both numerically and graphically, and for
editing network maps. Most menu commands can be accessed through the toolbars; except
for those selecting the online and offline statistical graphs.
Toolbars
Below the title bar and menu bar are four toolbars, which can be resized, turned on and off,
and dragged and docked anywhere. From top to bottom:
• The Configuration toolbar is used to configure a RASExpress server.
• The Statistics toolbar is used to display throughput and other statistics collected since
the last reboot of the server.
• The Management toolbar is used to save configuration changes, reboot the server,
monitor connections, reset lines, set and display traps, and otherwise manage an
active server.
• The Draw toolbar is used to create and edit network maps of your servers.
Device Tree
The device tree, in the pane on the left, displays RASExpress servers and groups in an
Explorer-like tree. The manager is at the root of the tree. As in Explorer, you can expand or
contract branches by clicking + and – boxes. Just click any server in the tree to select it for
configuration or management. If no servers appear in the device tree when you open
MultiManager, you can cause MultiManager to look for them by selecting Auto Detect from
the Edit menu.
Network Map
The network map is in the pane on the right. Here you can define and select RASExpress
servers, and edit their device attributes by double-clicking their icons. Using the Draw
toolbar, you can show relationships among your servers, groups, and LAN and WAN links in
a graphic map of your network, which can then be saved to disk.
Status Bar
The status bar displays messages about the status of MultiManager and your S
