When the configuration of a Small Community Network is loaded, Manager displays the configuration in a different way from when the configuration of a single system is loaded. The main differences are in how configuration records are grouped in the configuration tree.

Clicking on the Small Community Network icon displays the Network Viewer which shows the lines between the systems in the Small Community Network.

• Small Community Network Configuration Records

  Certain records from each of the systems in the Small Community Network are grouped together in the configuration tree differently from when just a single system configuration is loaded. There are two types, unique Small Community Network records and shared Small Community Network records:

• Unique Records

  They can be edited here and the system to which they belong is indicated in the group pane and in the title bar of the details pane. However, to add or delete these types of record must be done within the configuration records of the particular system that will host the entry's configuration details.

  • All user in the Small Community Network are shown under the User icon.

  • All hunt groups in the Small Community Network are shown under the Hunt Group icon.

• Shared Records

  Shared records are configuration items that exist on all systems in the Small Community Network, having the same name and settings on each system. Editing the shared record updates the matching copy in the configuration of each system. Similarly, adding or deleting a shared record adds or deletes from the individual system configurations. If the copy of the shared record within an individual configuration is edited, it is no longer a shared record for the Small Community Network though the individual records on other system will remain. Changing the individual records back to matching will turn the records back into a shared record.

  • Shared time profiles are shown under the Time Profile icon.

  • Shared user rights are shown under the User Rights icon.

• Individual System Configurations

  The full configuration for each system in the Small Community Network can be accessed and edited as required. It is possible to copy and paste configuration records between systems using the configuration tree.
