Aims. Our aim is to gain a better understanding of the interaction between acoustic oscillations and the small-scale magnetic fields of the Sun. To this end, we examine the oscillatory properties of a network region and their relation to the magnetic configuration of the chromosphere. We link the oscillatory properties of a network region and their spatial variation with the variation of the parameters of the magnetic field. We investigate the effect of the magnetic canopy and the diverging flux tubes of the chromospheric network on the distribution of oscillatory power over the network and internetwork. Methods. We use a time series of high resolution filtergrams at five wavelengths along the Ha profile observed with the Dutch Open Telescope, as well as high resolution magnetograms taken by the SOT/SP onboard HINODE. Using wavelet analysis, we construct power maps of the 3, 5 and 7 min oscillations of the Doppler signals calculated at +/- 0.35 angstrom and +/- 0.7 angstrom from the H alpha line center. These represent velocities at chromospheric and photospheric levels respectively. Through a current-free (potential) field extrapolation we calculate the chromospheric magnetic field and compare its morphology with the Ha filtergrams. We calculate the plasma beta and the magnetic field inclination angle and compare their distribution with the oscillatory power at the 3, 5 and 7 min period bands. Results. Chromospheric mottles seem to outline the magnetic field lines. The H alpha +/- 0.35 angstrom Doppler signals are formed above the canopy, while the H alpha +/- 0.7 angstrom corresponding ones below it. The 3 min power is suppressed at the chromosphere around the network, where the canopy height is lower than 1600 km, while at the photosphere it is enhanced due to reflection. 3, 5 and 7 min oscillatory power is increased around the network at the photosphere due to reflection of waves on the overlying canopy, while increased 5 and 7 min power at the chromosphere is attributed mainly to wave refraction on the canopy. At these high periods, power is also increased due to p-mode leakage because of the high inclinations of the magnetic field. Conclusions. Our high resolution Ha observations and photospheric magnetograms provide the opportunity to highlight the details of the interaction between acoustic oscillations and the magnetic field of a network region. We conclude that several mechanisms that have been proposed such as p-mode leakage, mode conversion, reflection and refraction of waves on the magnetic canopy may act together and result to the observed properties of network oscillations.
