Objects nearby

Overview

This page describes the Objects nearby feature — finding devices and ONUs near a chosen point, with results shown as a list and on the map, plus directions.

Use the Contents menu on the right to jump to the section you need.

What it is➧

Objects nearby helps you quickly find the infrastructure around a given point — for example, when you are on site and want to see which devices, ONUs or boxes are located close by. Results are shown as a list with the distance to each object and can be opened on the map with directions.

The feature is available in two ways:

  • A dedicated page — the "Objects nearby" menu item;
  • A quick window — the "Objects nearby" button in the bottom navigation on a mobile device.

Choosing the search point➧

The search center can be set in one of these ways:

Action Description
Use my location — determines the current coordinates via the device's geolocation. Tapping again refreshes the location.
Choose on map — opens a map where you can set the search point manually.

The last used location is remembered, so the search is ready to go next time.

Filters➧

Filter Description
Distance Search radius around the point: from 100 m to 10 km.

The selected filters are remembered between sessions.

Results➧

Found objects are shown as a list sorted by distance. For each one you see:

  • the object's icon and name, plus a status (online/offline) for devices;
  • additional details (if available) and the distance to the search point;
  • a "Show on map" button and an "Open object" button (opens the object's dashboard).

Map view and directions➧

The "Show on map" button opens all found objects on the map. For every object that has coordinates you can get directions:

  • Directions in Google Maps;
  • Directions in Apple Maps.

Object coordinates

Only objects that have coordinates set are included in the results. If a device or ONU you expect does not appear, check that its coordinates are set on the corresponding dashboard.
