Managing GIS view
For a small-scale wireless network, the network administrator can easily view the geographical
deployment of the network based on location view topology. For a large-scale wireless network,
especially the operator network, the network administrator cannot view geographical deployment of
inner-city or cross-city APs based on the location view topology.
GIS view maps location views to a Mapbar map, which displays AP deployment at a macro level. On
GIS view, each location view is precisely labeled on the Mapbar map, and a tip message box is
attached to each location view. The tip information includes the contact address, telephone number,
and total number of APs and access terminals of the location view. GIS locating can precisely locate
each AP on the map.
To use GIS view, follow these guidelines:
• If the network connection is abnormal, the map does not load properly.
• The status of a hotspot is determined by the location view associated with it.
• Administrators and maintainers can edit the map on GIS view; the viewers can only view the
map.
Viewing the GIS view
To view the positions on the GIS view:
1. Click the Service tab.
2. From the navigation tree, select WLAN Manager > View Management > GIS View.
The GIS View page displays all positions on the map and in the Position List.
The number of positions, APs, and online clients on the current GIS view are displayed above
the map.
You can use the navigation controls at left of the Mapbar map to browse any position and its
location on the map. Click the position picture to view the tip message box. The tip information
includes the following:
{
Associated location view
{
Contact address and telephone number of the position
{
Total number of APs in the position
{
Number of login online clients
3. Click the link showing the total number of APs to view the device information of the position.
4. Click the View Topology icon to view the position topology.
NOTE:
Navigation controls on a Mapbar map: Click the eastward, westward, southward, and northward
navigation arrays to drag the map in different directions, click the zoom + or – sign to zoom in or
zoom out of the Mapbar map, and drag the zoom slider to continuously zoom in or zoom out of the
map. You can also can drag, zoom in, or zoom out the map directly on the map.
The Position List displays all position on the GIS view. The Position List contains the name, Modify icon
, and Delete icon for each position. When you click the name of a position in Mapbar map, the
tip message box appears.
