293 +* When connecting to a device for the first time in Network Device Tree View, we recommend making certain changes to the type of information displayed by right-clicking and selecting the "Show Configuration Dialog" option:
295 295  ** Displaying the Serial Number and TSID is useful for easily identifying devices and determining whether specific devices are online or not
296 296  ** Displaying the Network ID is useful for easily identifying whether devices have been addressed or not
297 -** Displaying the Net Type is somewhat optional, as it should be apparent whether devices are connected via Cresnet, zummesh, etc. based on the model of device you are connected to

299 +* In addition to the above settings, **it is generally recommended to right-click and ensure that "Show by Device Connection" is checked**
300 +** "Show by Device Connection" will group devices by their connection to the host device (e.g., Cresnet devices on a DIN-CENCN-2 will be sorted by the Net that they are connected to, Zūm Wireless devices will be sorted by the ZUM-NETBRIDGE they are connected to, etc.)
301 +** "Show by Category" can be useful in some situations, particularly when looking at devices on a processor where all of the devices are necessarily on the same net, but it can be confusing since you are not able to tell at a glance how a device is connected (i.e. whether it is on Net 1 or Net 2 of a DIN-CENCN-2) and may result in accidentally misaddressing devices
300 300  * These configuration changes are saved per device type, so once they are made they will not need to be made again unless you are connecting to a new type of device for the first time (e.g. changes made while connected to a DIN-AP4 will apply to all DIN-AP4s, but will not apply to any DIN-CENCN-2s you may connect to later)
