I want to be able to view it in preparation for creating a new network for my systems. The most significant change would be different node names; I don't anticipate any others at this time.
I do see that much of this information is viewable through DSM's various LIST_@@ commands.
Any and all help would be appreciated.

member(s) whose job was to configure these systems. Prime published *stacks* of documentation on how to configure
and use them, but the software was not designed for non-technical users like software today usually is, so it's much harder
to get anywhere without reading manuals. You can't easily just poke around and try things like with today's phones and
tablets.
