¶ Network sites
¶ Overview
The Network Sites feature in Splynx enables administrators to manage and organize multiple network sites within their infrastructure efficiently.
This feature supports adding an unlimited number of network sites, each with linked hardware devices, access devices, and customer services. Administrators can upload photos and documents to each site and accurately map them using addresses or coordinates.
Access device is hardware that connects customers to the internet and links network sites and customer services for easier management.
This comprehensive registry aids in keeping clients informed, tracking the number of clients attached to each network site, and ensuring all network infrastructure is well-documented and easily accessible.

¶ Information

Here, you can change the previously added details as well as add more contacts, and upload documents and photos.

In the new window, you can enter a new address and update the coordinates by clicking this icon: 
When all the necessary changes are done, click the Save button at the bottom left corner of the page.
¶ Hardware
In the Hardware tab, you can link existing hardware devices to your network site or add a new hardware device by clicking the respective button:
To add an existing or new device, ensure the Access device toggle is enabled within the hardware device:
Link hardware:
This implies you've previously added a hardware device in the Hardware section, and you can link it to your network site if the hardware device is accessible for this purpose (its access device toggle is enabled).
Type in the name of the hardware device, select it, and then click the Link button below:
You can only link hardware with the same partner(s) or location(s).
You can link more than one hardware device to a single network site at once:
Add new hardware:
When you click the Add new hardware button, you will be redirected to the Hardware form, where you need to fill in the necessary details. The network site will be automatically filled in:

¶ Customer services
When hardware and access devices are added to your network site, the next step is to link customer services to the access devices where necessary.
If you don't use network sites you also can link access devices to customer services to aggregate information per each device.
All linked customer services will appear in a separate tab within the hardware device:
Customer services can be linked either individually (per customer) or in bulk (when multiple customers are selected).
To link multiple customer services, use the mass actions button at the top left corner of the customers' list and click on Link to access device. The number of customers available for linking their services will be displayed next to it:
In a new window, select a network site to enable the Access device selector. Then, select the access device, if applicable, for all items.
Similarly, you can adjust customers, services, and access devices manually. Use the + and - buttons to add or remove items below. Click Add more items to add an item to the end of the list. When everything is done, click the Link button:
To link a specific customer service, go to the customer’s profile page. Under the Service tab, when creating or editing their internet service, you can choose a device for linking:
If the internet service is part of the bundle, you can also link it to the access device.
After this, a new entry will appear under the Customer services tab within the network site to which that access device is linked. You will also see the customer service linked to this device:
When you have multiple customer services linked to access devices, it's easier to use the filter at the top-right corner of the page. This allows you to arrange the representation of items in the table by their status:

Each item will be marked with its respective legend.
You can filter the representation of items on the map by Partner and Location.
Additionally, you can specify particular items to display, such as Hardware, Services, Access devices, and Services linked to an Access device:
