Map Manager configuration tabs - Security Center 5.10

Map Manager - Properties tab

Click the Properties tab to change the default settings for this role, and configure the external resources managed by this role, such as the map providers and the KML objects.

Map providers

List of third-party map providers (GIS) that you are licensed to use. The list of map providers also serves as a geocoding priority list. This means that the map provider at the top of the list is the first to be tried as the geocoding provider. If this provider cannot return a result, the next provider in the list is tried.

Tip: To see whether geocoding is enabled or not on a map provider, select the map provider and click Edit the item ().

Map layers

List of imported KML objects that can be displayed on any georeferenced map. Each KML object corresponds to a distinct map layer that the Security Desk users can choose to show or hide.

Cache location

The cache is a folder where the map tiles are stored. When you create maps from images files, the role generates a set of small images, called map tiles, for each zoom level at which you need to view the map. The larger the map scale, the more map tiles the role must generate. The default folder is C:\ProgramData\Security Center\Maps.

Port

HTTP port used by the Map Manager to communicate with client applications. (Default=8012).

Default map

The system default map, also known as the global default map, is used when a user has not configured a personalized default map. You can only set the global default map after creating your first map.

Backward compatibility

When switched ON after an upgrade, client applications from Security Center 5.8 and earlier can continue to download and show image maps.

Best Practice: Switch Backward compatibility OFF after all client applications have been upgraded for enhanced security.
