INTEL DEVICE VIEW USER GUIDE

Using the Device Tree

When you start Intel Device View, the Device Discovery service begins
searching for supported Intel network devices on your network. As it
discovers devices, the Device Discovery service adds an icon for each
device to the Device Tree on the left side of the screen.

Each type of device is represented by a unique icon in the Device Tree.

Device Tree icons

Device Tree root

Subnet

Intel Express Stackable Hub

Intel Express Switch

Intel Express Router

Intel NetportExpress™ Print Server

Unconfigured or unrecognized device

Non-responding device

The Device Tree works much like Windows Explorer. To expand the
root or a subnet, click the (+) next to the icon. To collapse the view,
click the (-) next to the icon. Double-click a device icon to view the
device image.
