EAPS Protocol Monitoring and Verification
You can move the visible area (the Viewport) within a large map to show the portion of the map in
●
which you are interested.
Manually Arranging the Topology
You can rearrange the appearance of your map by manually moving node around the map.
To drag a node, left-click and hold on the node, and drag it to the location you want. Links between
●
the selected node and other nodes on the map will expand or contract to maintain connectivity.
You must have write access to the EAPS Monitor in order to perform this function.
Automatic Layout
The Automatic Layout command automatically calculates a topology layout and arranges the nodes and
links based on an internal algorithm.
The Automatic Layout command can be accessed from the Viewport toolbar, or from the map right-
●
click pop-up menu.
You must have write access to the EAPS Monitor in order to perform this function.
The Fit Command
The Fit command rearranges the nodes and links in the map to fit entirely within the Viewport. In a
large network, this may result in a map that is zoomed out such that nodes are represented only by
status icons (as shown in
Any user can perform this function.
Moving the Viewport
If the complete EAPS map is too large to fit within the display area, you can move the viewport around
to view different parts of the total map. There are several ways to do this. In addition, you can
minimize or maximize the viewport, or change its vertical dimension with respect to the amount of
space allocated to the EAPS tables shown in the top portion of the EAPS display.
To change the dimensions of the viewport:
Click the minimize button (the small down-pointing triangle at the right of the viewport toolbar) to
●
remove the viewport from the EAPS view, leaving only the EAPS tables visible. The Viewport
toolbar moves to the bottom of the EPICenter client window.
Click the maximize button (the small up-pointing triangle at the right of the viewport toolbar) to
●
expand the viewport vertically to fill the entire EPICenter client window. The Viewport toolbar
moves to the top of the EPICenter client window.
Click and drag the bar that separates the Viewport from the EAPS tables to expand or contract the
●
viewport relative to the size of the tables.
Click the Restore button (the small button between the minimize and maximize buttons) to return
●
the viewport to its default size.
