The goal of this Enterprise/Solver Connectivity Tools User's Guide is to provide tutorials, in a step-by-step format, of the tasks you can perform using the NETSYS Technologies, Inc. (hereafter referred to as NETSYS) Enterprise/Solver family of modeling, planning, simulation, problem solving, diagnosis, and validity checking products.
The Enterprise/Solver Connectivity Tools Reference Guide is a companion document to this manual. While there is some overlap between the two manuals, the Enterprise/Solver Connectivity Tools Reference Guide is referenced based, whereas this manual is procedural in style.
This book is written for network, system, MIS, and application development managers, as well as network administrators, planners, analysts, and capacity planners. The tutorials provide examples on how to accomplish various tasks using the Connectivity Tools.
Having just purchased one of the Connectivity Tools, you should read and follow the instructions on setting up your work environment provided in the Enterprise/Solver Connectivity Tools READ THIS FIRST (hereafter referred to as the RTF) document. Also provided in the RTF is information on compatibility and minimum software requirements, an inventory of the Connectivity Tools components, known problems, and any last minute information about the Connectivity Tools not available when the documents went to press.

SELECT mouse button
The mouse contains three buttons (described below) with their default locations in parentheses. As your mouse may be configured differently, the mouse buttons will always be referred to by the names listed below:
SELECT (left) - selects objects and activates controls
ADJUST (middle) - adjusts a selected group of objects, adding to or deselecting part of the group
MENU (right) - displays and chooses from menus
The SELECT mouse button is the default button. If a particular mouse button is not specified, assume the reference is to the SELECT mouse button. For example, if the text specifies to "Click on the OK button", it assumed to mean "Click the SELECT mouse button on the OK button."
The following mouse button Motif standards are used when selecting entries from a list:
SELECT on the entry. A subsequent SELECT deselects the previous selection.
SELECT deselects the previous selections.
