Using the Network Toolbox

The Network Toolbox lets you use actions that are defined on other systems.

The top level of the Network Toolbox contains a subdirectory for each remote system whose actions you can access. If your system has not been set up to access remote actions, no subdirectories will be present.

Figure 9-7 The Network Toolbox contains a subdirectory for each system whose actions you can access.

“Starting Applications or Utilities”, earlier in this chapter, explains how to start actions.
For information about configuring the Network Toolbox, see HP VUE's online help (click the Help Manager control, then click "HP Visual User Environment, Version 3.0", then click "General Configuration", then click "Network Configuration", then click "Importing and Exporting Actions").

Opening the Network Toolbox

Display the Tools subpanel by choosing the up arrow above the Tools control.
Choose Network in the Tools subpanel.
Double-click the icon for the system that contains the action.
To close the subpanel, choose the down arrow at the bottom of the subpanel.

Figure 9-8 Choose the Network icon to display the Network Toolbox.

Making a Network Action More Readily Available

If you use a network action frequently, you can put it in a location that's more convenient.

Put the action on your Desktop. “Putting an Object on the Desktop” covers how to put an action on the Desktop.
Or, copy the action to your Personal Toolbox. “Copying a File” explains how to copy actions.
Or, add the action to your Front Panel.
For information on adding controls that start actions to the Front Panel, see HP VUE's online help (click the Help Manager control, then click "HP Visual User Environment, Version 3.0", then click "Front Panel and Workspace Manager", then click "Configuring the Front Panel").
