Create Containers and Links for Desktops

You can create containers and links for your DTS network.

To create containers and links for desktops

1. Open the DTS Business Process View in your WorldView 2D Map.
2. Drill-down into the Networking Administration and Monitoring folder.
3. Create multiple DT Containers called United States Desktops, Europe Desktops, Asia Desktops, and South America Desktops.
4. In each container, place the desktops that belong to that region.
5. Create separate DT Links on the 2D Map connecting each of the continent containers to the server for that continent.

   For example, create a link connecting the United States Server to the United States Desktop DT Container, and create a link connecting the Europe Server to the Europe Desktop DT Container.

6. Configure the newly created DT Links, as follows:
   1. Select each link, right-click, and select Open DTS Details from the context menu.
   2. The Object Details dialog appears.
   3. Select broadcast from the drop-down list in Point-to-Many Protocol.
   4. Enter the broadcast address in Net Addr.
   5. Enter the subnet mask of the link in Parameters.
   6. Ensure that all other fields are blank.
   7. Click OK to exit the dialog.

   Note: Repeat these steps for each link. Be sure to specify broadcast and the proper network address and network mask value.
