All Networks page overview
This article gives an overview of Datto Network Manager's Networks page.
NOTE For information about the overview page for an individual network, refer to Network Overview page.
Environment
- Datto Network Manager
Description
The Networks page lets you add, configure and manage your Datto networks. 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
There are two selectable tabs within the page, Operational Status and Network Groups.
Operational Status
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:

Map
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.
Network Groups
Selecting the Network Groups tab displays the collapsed network groups. In the top right, click Create Network Group to create a new group. Provide the group name and click Create to finalize the creation.
Expand the current groups with the arrow next to each group name to view the associated networks and their information. Each Network lists the name, percent of Access Points that are down, total number of access points and the latest firmware version used. Each group and network listed will have a menu in the row with the following options for management:
