To connect Map Manager to a web tile server, the server URL must adhere to the supported format.

The Map Manager supports the following URL format for web tile servers:

Code

http://<Server>/tile/<Version>/<Layer>/<Style>/{z}/{x}/{y}.<FileType>

The URL components are as follows:

URL element	Description	Mandatory
`Server`	The root URL of the Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) resource.	Yes
`Version`	The version of the WMTS standard: for example, `1.0.0`.
`Layer`	The map layer.
`Style`	The style of the map layer, usually `default`.
`{z}/{x}/{y}`	The zoom factor {z}, X position {x}, and Y position {y} variables that are part of the WMTS standard. These values are calculated automatically when you view the map in Security Center.	Yes
`FileType`	The format of the file, usually JPEG or PNG format.	Yes

For a list of supported values, see the capabilities document of the server.
