You can add hardware zones and virtual zones to your maps to allow Security Desk operators to monitor and control
zones from maps.
Before you begin
-
Create the map where you want to add
your zones.
- Make sure you have zones in your system.
Procedure
-
From the Config Tool homepage, open the Map designer
task.
-
Select a recent map or click Browse all maps to open an
existing map.
The selected map fills the Map designer
workspace.
-
In the toolbar, click Area view (), select the hardware zone (), virtual zone (), or I/O zone () you want to add, and drag it to where you
want it to be on the map.
The widgets for configuring the
map object appear in the right panel. The map object always takes on the identity of the
entity that it represents.
-
In the Identity widget, click Show
states, and then assign colors for the different zone
states.
Tip: To avoid cluttering
the map, you can hide the map object when the entity is found in certain
states. Clear the states that you want to hide.
When the zone state changes, the map object changes to the color
configured for that state, or is hidden.
-
In the Map designer toolbar, click
Save ().
