= Overview =
The '''NST WUI''' includes pop-up network tools widgets for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4 '''IPv4'''], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 '''IPv6'''], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname '''Host Names'''], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address '''MAC addresses''']. Each '''NST WUI''' pages which display network addresses or host names will allow you to click on the network entity to bring up the appropriate network tools widget. Once the widget is displayed, you can perform a variety of related actions using the network entity. See the [[HowTo_Use_The_NST_Shell_Command_Console | '''NST Shell Console Command Reference Page''']] for supporting information.

Other network tools widgets for setting [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System '''DNS'''] overrides globally or for each network interface and a ['''CloudShark Upload Manager'''] are available.

The image below serves as a reference for the '''IPv4 Address Network Tools Widget'''. Common controls can be similarly found on all other '''NST Network Tools Widgets'''. Clicking on most '''IPv4 addresses''' throughout the '''NST WUI''' will bring up this tools widget with the '''IPv4 address''' populated in the input field and ready for an action to be performed using it. The '''IPv4 address''' will be added to your browser session store so that it may be used and selected at a later time with the '''IPv4 Address History Select''' button.

One can also bring up the '''IPv4 Address Network Tools Widget''' through the '''NST Navigation Menu''' (i.e. ''Tools'' => ''Network Widgets'' => ''IPv4 Address'').
