This table describes the basic editing tools.
Adding a New Entry
Click on the Add Record button to open this dialog box. Enter a suitable mnemonic
name, the network address (UDP/IP or IPX), the physical device address, the
network protocol (IP or IPX), the functional device type, and any informal notes.
Remember to indicate specific device types for SMC network devices and generic
designations for all other network devices. (Also note that the Get MAC function is
only enabled for the UDP/IP protocol under Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0
Service Pack 4 or later, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.)
Deleting Device Entries
Use your mouse to highlight the entries you want to delete and press the delete button. (Note that the same
conventions are followed for selecting multiple items as those used by the Windows File Manager.)
Updating Device Entries
Use your mouse to highlight the entry you want to update. Then change any of fields
in the dialog box as described above under Adding a New Entry. Note that when
device information is dumped from Discovery, the Name field is automatically filled
in using the network address. Therefore, you should update each entry to include a
meaningful name for these devices. You can do this directly from Discovery, but it
may be easier using the Name Database Manager, where the entire list of devices is
readily available for reference.
