indicates which Server is controlling the routing of events from that site. The Transport field displays the type of
phone line over which that site is communicating. The Last Contact field shows the last time that site called in to

If you need to perform a search for a site, once View Site Information is activated, access Search mode by selecting
View , Search Mode . The status bar at the bottom of the View Site Information window will indicate the mode
change. Using the Search feature is most effective when there are user defined fields which have been configured
for displaying custom detailed descriptions to aid in differentiating sites. The Additional Site Information frame is
where these user defined fields are located.
For example, when dealing with a networked college campus, a custom field can be created to describe a site's
physical location, assuming a site represents a single building. The user defined field could then contain entries
like dormitory 1, natural sciences, physical sciences, chemical sciences, basketball gym, etc. Once in Search
mode, you could type in "sciences" to get all sites with that word in that user defined field. You could then select
File , Print Matches to print the information for all those sites, which, using this example, would be natural
sciences, physical sciences, and chemical sciences. Selecting File, Print All will print site information for all sites on
the monitoring network.
This status bar shows
you whether the dialog
is in Normal or Search
mode.
