Admin Tools
Here you can define commands to start various applications used to manage your hosts: Remote Desktop, Telnet, and SSH clients. You can also specify a custom program to run. For instance, the above example defines a command line to start the trace route program. Note that instead of directly specifying tracert as a program name, the example uses cmd.exe with a /k switch; this allows the output window to remain open after the command execution is finished.
Additionally, you can define a Device Web Interface template on this page. When new hosts are created manually or by Network Discovery, their web interface URL will be constructed automatically using this string as a pattern.
You can access the tools and the device web interface defined on this page using the Tools button on the Tree View pane toolbar and the Tools menu item in the Tree View context menu as explained here.

Check out our Knowledge Base where we answer questions regarding various topics. You can define commands for Remote Desktop, Telnet, SSH clients, and a custom program used to manage hosts from IPNetwork Monitor. Using cmd.exe with /k keeps the command window open after the tool finishes, which is useful for reviewing output from utilities such as tracert. Configured tools and device web interface links are available from the Tools button on the Tree View pane toolbar and from the Tools item in the Tree View context menu.
