Tutorial: Connecting to a Network

The first thing to do when setting up a system is to add a driver to the device tree. Each driver knows how to communicate with a particular type of network and each unique type of network requires a separate driver in the device tree.

1. Right click "Site" in the device tree and select "New Driver".

2. Select the type of network from the list and click "Ok". Each item may be clicked for a short description.

3. Each type of driver will have different settings. Fill out the driver form and click "Finish". Click the help icon on the driver screen for more information on that type of driver. Click the "Back" button in the browser to return to the tutorial.

4. The device tree should now contain a driver icon and the network should be connected and ready to go. This can be verified by selecting "View System Log" from the Administrator menu. You should see "Connected: xxxx" near the top of the log. If not, right-click the driver in the tree and select "Properties" to check your settings.

Click "Next" to add devices to the device tree.
