Note: All image files that you upload to the HiveManager must be in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format.
Setting Up Topology Maps
In this example, you use maps showing the floor plan for each floor in the three office buildings. You need to make
.png files of drawings or blueprints showing the layout of each floor. Also, as an easy means of organizing the maps

this drawing at the top level, you can display icons for each floor of each building. You can then click an icon to link
to its corresponding map. This is shown in
