copy and paste from the Templates panel to the Network panel, and modify its
parameters.

the object causing the message is highlighted in the Network panel. You can then select
and modify the object to correct the problem.

The Properties panel shows information about the object selected in the Network panel.
When you expand the objects in the Network panel you can display finer levels of
detail about the configuration of your devices.
