1. A system comprising:
- a client;
a sensor having an associated type;
a network appliance housing the sensor and being configured to obtain sensor information from the sensor;
a server coupled to the network appliance and the client, the server being configured to receive the sensor information from the network appliance, the server comprising;
a memory storing instructions operable to enable the client to;
submit requests for the sensor information;
display the sensor information in a manner corresponding to the type of the sensor; and
manipulate the sensor information in a manner corresponding to the type of the sensor; and
a transfer module configured to provide the instructions to the client;
wherein the client is configured to receive the instructions from the server and to use the instructions to submit a request to the server for the sensor information, to display the sensor information in a manner corresponding to the type of the sensor, and to manipulate the sensor information in a manner corresponding to the type of the sensor.

Abstract
The server receives data from a network appliance. The server may then deliver an application and data to the client machine for viewing and manipulating the data. The client machine may display the data as a mapping, displaying icons associated with the network appliances. The client machine may also graph the data. Further, the client machine may manipulate the organization of the data, the configuration settings of the network appliances, and store map and graph configurations.
