The Network window lists every site and reader that you have added in
HandNet. To open this window, pick Network from the View menu or press
CTRL-N.
The left pane lists all of your sites (that is groups of connected readers). The
right pane lists all of the readers in the currently selected site (to list all readers
for all sites, click HandNet System at the top of the left pane).
You see one of these icons to the left of each reader's name:
The green light indicates that this reader is currently connected and
communicating with HandNet.
The black dot indicates that HandNet communicates with this reader by
modem, and HandNet is not currently connected with the reader (when
HandNet connects with the readers in that site depends on what you
have on the Schedule tab in Site Properties).
The empty circle indicates that you have not enabled this reader. This is
the case when you are setting a new reader up (you enable a reader on
the General tab in Reader Properties. You must also enable the site on
the General tab in the Site Properties).
The red light indicates that there is a communication problem between
HandNet and the reader. The reader may not be configured correctly, or
there may be a problem with the way the reader is connected.
You can sort the list of readers using the information in any column by clicking
on the column heading. For example, to sort the list alphabetically by name,
click on the name heading. If you click on the same heading again, it will sort
the list in reverse order; for example, using the name, it would sort from Z to A.
You can also sort by address (this might be useful if you wanted to find the next
available number for a new reader), by status (this could be useful to group all of
the readers that are not enabled or that are having communication problems), or
by site if you clicked HandNet System at the top of the site list to list all readers
from all sites at once.
To move any column, click the column heading and hold the mouse down. With
the mouse held down, drag the column heading to the left or right (see the
User's window in the online help for an example of this).
You can also change the width of a column by pointing to the edge of the
column heading, holding the mouse down, and then dragging the edge of the
column to the desired position. This lets you fit more columns in the window.
