If you click Yes, the Device Properties window opens, and you can add an
Unnamed PING device to the central node database. If you click No, no new

The Device Properties window, Figure 4-21, provides four tabbed pages which allow you
to change and/or configure certain display and polling properties associated with the
device.
Figure 4-21. The Device Properties Window
The Device Properties window appears automatically each time a device is manually
added to the node database (or specifically to a map window). To access the properties
window for a device which as already been added to the database (or to a map window):
1. Open and/or activate the list, tree, or map view which contains the device
whose display properties you wish to edit, and click on the device icon to
select it.
2. In the primary window menu bar, select Edit—>Properties.

TIP
If a map window was active when you selected the menu or toolbar option for adding a
device, closing the Properties window will change the arrow pointer into a crosshair
cursor. You can click this cursor in any open map window to add the appropriate device
icon to the map; adding a device to a map automatically adds it to the central node
database, and it displays on all appropriate list views.
