Configuring Maps

Adding Network Maps

To create a new network map, select the New command from the Maps menu.

Editing Network Maps

All network maps are listed as child nodes under the Maps node in a map tree.

Setting Network Map Properties

Click any network map node to set its basic properties. After making changes to map properties, click the OK button to see the map updated.

• Map name - The name of the network map as displayed in the map tree. For example: Region 1.
• Map image - The background image to be used in the map. See the Importing map graphics topic for information on how to import images.
• Background - Manually set the Width, Height in pixels and the Background color of the network map.
• Status rendering - Defines how Network Monitor displays the status of assets and groups on the network map.
  • Status in background - Displays the status as a background, with the icon for the entity drawn above it.
  • Status as overlay - Displays the icon for the entity with a small status symbol attached to the upper right corner. This method is recommended when using large custom icons.

Deleting Network Maps

To permanently remove a network map from Network Monitor, select the Delete command from the Maps menu.
