Configuring Applications Settings

You can use the Applications Settings to select the type of shapes to use in the Topology Maps. The topology map shape options are:

• WhatsUp
• Cisco
• Visio

To configure Application Settings:

1. From the main menu of the WhatsConnected console, select Configure > Application Settings. The Application Settings dialog appears.
2. Select the shapes you want to use in your topology maps:
   • WhatsUp. The topology maps use the basic functional shapes from WhatsUp Gold to draw a device on the topology maps.
   • Cisco. The topology maps use the standard Cisco icons/images for each functional collection (Router, Switch, etc) to represent a device.
   • Visio. The topology maps use the standard Visio icons/images for each functional collection (Router, Switch, etc) to represent a device.

     Note: You can only select the Visio topology maps option if a supported version of Visio (Microsoft Visio 2003 and 2007) is installed. This option is not available if Visio is not installed.

3. Click OK to save settings.
