View external node Details properties

Properties for external nodes in the console tree Nodes folder are configured by your administrator and can be viewed in a read-only dialog box.

To view Details properties for a selected external node

1. Right-click the name of the external node in the console tree to open the shortcut menu.
2. Select Properties to open the External Nodes Properties dialog box, which displays the General tab by default.
3. Select the Details tab.
4. The Owner Name box displays the name of the critical contact, usually the node owner or administrator.
5. The Contact Details box displays information how to contact the owner (the phone number, for example).
6. The Pattern box displays the pattern that a message must match so that it is associated with this external node.

   The pattern acts as a filter that defines the external node. For example, if the pattern is ROS* then all messages with node IDs that match this pattern will be associated with the external node and will only appear in the browser for that node. The first match found determines to which node the message belongs. When an incoming message matches a node pattern, the evaluation stops and the message appears in the browser for that node.

7. The Check pattern against group box defines what the pattern should match. This selection clarifies any possible ambiguity in the pattern. For example, a pattern like *15* could refer to an IP address like 15.1.2.2, or to a node name like ROS15test. By selecting IP Address or Node Name, any confusion about the meaning of the pattern is avoided.
   • Fully Qualified Domain Name

     If Fully Qualified Domain Name is the pattern choice, the filter will ignore the IP address for this pattern.

   • IP Address

     If IP Address is the pattern choice, only valid IP strings are evaluated.

   • Node Name

     If Node Name is selected, the filter matches the node name.
