Uploading Maps
NOTE: All image files that you upload to SmartPath EMS must be in .png or .jpg format.
1. Log in to the SmartPath EMS GUI as explained in Section 7.1.
2. To begin using maps, you must first set the root map, which will be at the top level of all the maps you add under it. Click
Topology, enter the following, and then click Update:
Root Map Name: CorpOffices (Note that spaces are not allowed in map level names. This will be the map at the top of a
hierarchical structure of maps. After defining this map, you can then add other maps beneath it.)
Operational Environment: Because the CorpOffices "map" does not contain any SmartPath AP icons—it is an illustration
of three buildings that you use to organize the submaps of the floors in each building—the environment setting is irrele-
vant. Leave it at its default, Office.
Background Image: Click Import > Upload, navigate to corp_offices.png and select it. Then choose corp_offices.png from
the Background Image drop-down list.
Map Size and SmartPath AP Installation Height: Because the corp_offices.png depicts buildings instead of a floor plan, it
is not necessary to specify the size of the image or the SmartPath AP installation height.
3. To add maps below the root map, click Topology, right-click CorpOffices, and then choose Add/Delete Image from the pop-up
menu that appears. In the Add/Delete Image window, click Upload, navigate to the directory containing the image files that
you want to upload, select up to five of them, and then click Open.
The selected image files are transferred from your management system to SmartPath EMS as shown in Figure 9-3.
