When you first enter the program, you will the main IP.Tree window containing sample data, as follows:

 

 

The IP.Tree update buttons below allows you to show and edit the components on the tree of IPs in your networks.

The Local IP list button allows you to check all the local IPs in the running machine.

The LAN checking button allows you to examine using NETBIOS the existing Windows LAN connected resources.

The Send To button allow you to export the data to several output formats.

And finally, the Scan IP button on the main Tree make a ping to each IP of the network to find any device that can answer a ping.

 

To obtain the best results, install the external program NMAP first (See Configuring IP.Tree).

 

The actual sample data may change from version to version of the program, however, once you installed IP.Tree for the first time, the data will never be overwritten again, unless you physically delete the IP.Tree's files and reinstall the program.

 

To expand or collapse a node, click on the [+] or [-] symbols, or use the "Expand All" or "Contract All" buttons.

If you double click on a line of the tree, you enter to "change" that line contents.

 

Play with the sample data as much as you like. When you are ready, delete it and load your real data into the system.

 

The idea is that you can plan and document as many networks or subnets as you want. For each network, you can assign "ranges" where you will group devices by type (if you don't want to organize your network like this, simply enter a single range for all). Finally, inside each range, you will enter the IP and main data of each device on the network. The system will warn you if some devices uses the same IP, or if different ranges overlaps.

Then you can print your data, or export it to the most common formats, so you can file your information for later use (like network maintenance).
