Environment

  • Datto Network Manager

Description

The Networks page lets you add, configure and manage your Datto networks. You may also view the Subscriptions and lifescycle status of networking products. You must create a network before you can add your Datto Networking devices in Network Manager.

In the top left of the Datto Network Manager window, click All Networks to view the page.

Using the Networks page

The page is divided into three tabs for organization; Operational Status, Subscription/Lifecycle Status, and Network Groups. Additionally, from each of these tabs, the Create Network option is available on the top right of the page.

This page allows you to see the overview of all networking devices and networks. Devices are listed at the top of the page, with the total count, as well as online, and offline counts. Each is selectable to filter the device list below it.

The device list can be used to see all devices, searched through for a specific device, or filtered by:

  • Associated networks
  • Device Type
  • Status

These filters can be used in conjunction with each other, but will be overrided by filters selected in the columns in the table below.

The Group by Network checkbox may also be checked to group the results for easier parsing. Once grouped a Network may be collapsed to hide the devices associated with it, using the arrow next to its name.

The Export option allows you to export the information displayed in a supported format.

Each device has an action menu to the right of the entry where you can make adjustments based on the device type:

The device table can be replaced with a map by selecting the location icon. This allows you to view the location of each of the networks. Use the navigation arrows to move, zoom in, or select a network.

This tab displays all devices as well as their subscription status.

The devices are categorized into tiles at the top of the page. By selecting the subscription count of each type, a filter will be applied to the table below with the device type and subscription status selected.

The full device list may be filtered using the search box or the filter drop downs available. In the top right of the table, select the Export dropdown to select the export type and download the entries. Each device will provide the:

  • Network it belongs to

Each of these columns may be selected to sort by its value. The three dot menu on the right of each entry can be used to expand to the following options:
