The Main Window
If the BAT Discovery is started the main window is empty at
first. It is designed like a table and is divided into the columns
MAC address, Node name, IP address, and State. According to
the configuration, it also contains the columns FwVer and Pro-
duct name. As soon as BAT 11b have been searched for and
identified in the network, the corresponding data on the
respective device will appear in these columns.
The Menu
The menu is located at the upper margin of the BAT Discovery
and contains the menu items File, View, Configuration, Extras,
and Help with up to 9 items each. The numerous functions
which can be activated via this menu will be discussed in
detail later on in this chapter.
The Tool Bar
The tool bar is located directly below the main window and
provides fast access to Discovery, IP-Setup, and Load firm-
ware, the three main functions of the BAT Discovery. These
three functions, which can also be selected via the menu, will
be illustrated in detail in the following.
1. Select View > Tool Bar to show or hide the tool bar.
The Status Bar
The status bar at the lower margin of the window displays the
current status of the BAT Discovery, as well as a short descrip-
tion of the menu item above which the mouse pointer is cur-
rently located. The window shows the number of BAT 11b
found and the progress of the search. The latter applies only
to menu items which were called via a function, e.g. Discovery.
