You can also annotate any object in your maps by adding an Object Note; the following
sections describe how to add non-management graphic objects to your map, as well as
how to add an Object Note to any object.

Using Non-manageable Symbols

In addition to the device icons described in the previous sections, you can also add symbol
icons to your map to represent network devices you cannot — or choose not to — manage
via NetSight Element Manager. A library of predefined symbols are provided, or you can
define your own symbols by adding additional bitmap images.
Symbols — even those which look just like device icons — do not report status and do not
provide access to management.

Placing a Symbol Icon

To add an existing symbol to your map:
1. If necessary, open or activate the map to which you wish to add a symbol.
2. Click the Symbol icon
