NetConfig/NetMonitor options

This table shows the available options on the NetConfig/NetMonitor tab:

Option Description
Automatically update inter-site routing status

Each inter-site thread has a public icon in the upper right corner. For referenced threads, the public icon has a yellow background. For unreferenced threads, the public icon has a gray background.

Enclose thread name in graphics Inter-site routing auto-updating adds a configuration object listener to the remote server. You can use this check box to turn off inter-site routing auto update. By default, this is unchecked. If a change is made to this setting, then it is not necessary to close and reopen the IDE for the change to take effect. This places the thread name in the protocol graphic in Network Configurator. When this option is cleared, the thread name is placed below the graphic.
Ignore thread bitmap When this is selected, the threads always show their system-defined protocol images, whether they are configured to use user-defined bitmaps.

When this is cleared, the threads show the user-defined protocol images, if any are configured. Otherwise, the threads show the system-defined bitmaps.

Keep original icon size Inter-site routing auto updating adds a configuration object listenerThe thread bitmap is resizable. When this option is selected, the icon is kept the original size.
Use uniform colored background This pertains to the background of the NetConfig/NetMonitor tool. By default, the background is a gradient colored background. When the check box is selected, the background is a uniform color.
Route line style Route lines can be a straight line, or a z-style line. The z-style line has bends and rounded corners.
Enable SMAT file directory out of range warning The default is selected. When this option is selected, a warning message displays on the Network Configurator'sVerifications tab when a thread is directed to a destination that is not HCIROOT. This behavior is the same for outbound message threads in NetConfig.
Automatically load engine output By default, the process output is hidden. Select this option to view the output.
Show thread bitmap

This setting is saved in the view file and can be loaded again. The Network Configurator ignores this setting, even though the Network Configurator and Network Monitor share the same view file. This shows the selected thread bitmap in the view. By default, this option is unchecked and the Network Monitor view does not show the thread bitmap.

Advanced You can configure the NetConfig inbound/outbound message file name to populate with a default value by configuring the default value. Click Advanced to open the Configure Default Values dialog box. Select an option from the , or specify one in the field.

This shows the selected thread bitmap in the view. By default, thisFor example, with a thread named conn_1, selecting this option and the values @threadname@_in and @threadname@_out, the file names automatically populate with conn_1_in and conn_1_out.
