Map tab

NAVIGATION  This tab displays with groups and gateways.

The Maps tab displays a large map when a map-enabled node is selected.

• The large map scales automatically to encompass the locations of all map-enabled child nodes of the currently selected node.
• Clicking a map location icon jumps to that node in the monitor tree. If an icon represents multiple child nodes at the same location, a list of child nodes displays. Clicking a child node jumps to that node in the monitor tree.

Smaller Map

A smaller map, in the lower right hand corner of the page, shows the location of the currently selected node.

Inheritance

Gateways, groups, and assets can be associated with a location on a map and a local time zone. Lower level nodes can inherit their geographical locations from their parent nodes. For example, setting the location of gateway or group for a single building can effectively set the location and local time zone for all the assets in the same building.

Configuration

Map settings are typically configured on the Advanced tab of a node. Network Monitor is integrated with the Google Maps API. This means you can use either the name of a location or GPS coordinates using decimal notation, such as -33.469048,-70.642007, to identify the location of any node.

Map and location settings

• Inherit map settings - If checked, map settings are inherited from the parent node and the other three map options remain hidden. Uncheck to specify your own map settings.
  • Map setting - Use google maps. This is the only option available at this time.
  • Google map display - Checking these options determines whether gateways, groups and assets are shown on the map.
  • Geographic location - Enter the name of a location or GPS coordinates using decimal notation, such as -33.469048,-70.642007.
• Time zone - Monitors display their real time charts in the asset's local time.
  • Inherit time zone - If checked, inherits time zone settings from the parent node. Uncheck to specify you own time zone settings.
