5.2.2 Directory structure
LANconfig uses a directory structure for a clear overview when managing
multiple devices. Folders dedicated to projects or customers can be set up to
organize the relevant devices:
D Create a new folder by clicking on the parent directory with the right
mouse key and selecting "New Folder" from the context menu.
D Just use the mouse to drag and drop the devices into the appropriate fold-
er. Devices can also be moved from one folder to another in this way.
Note: The arrangement of devices in folders effects only the display of the
devices within LANconfig. The organization of the folders has no influence
on the configuration of the devices.
