Configuring the structure

Main window >

Maps and Structure

This chapter provides information on how to configure the

Logical Tree

and how to manage

resource files such as maps.

On the

Maps and Structure

page, you configure the Logical Tree.

The Logical Tree is used in the Operator Client to control cameras and other devices.

Use the

User Groups

page to customize this tree for each

user group

that can access the

Operator Client. In the Operator Client only those parts of the Logical Tree are displayed

which are permitted for the user group.

You can arrange all the devices of your system according to your requirements. For example,

you can add all cameras of one part of a building to a corresponding folder.

You can integrate maps into your structure. On these maps you can place cameras or other

devices which helps the user to localize the devices. You can only import 2D

DWF

files.

On a map, you can create links to other maps so that the user can click from one map to a

linked one.

Configuring the Logical Tree

Main window >

Maps and Structure

You can add devices, resource files and folders to the

Logical Tree

. Devices are listed in the

Device Tree

and you can drag any level of the Device Tree to the Logical Tree.

A resource file can be a site map, document, Web file, audio file, a Command Script, or a

camera sequence file.

A site map is a 2D

DWF

file that you can add to the Logical Tree. Adding a map to the Logical

Tree, creates a map folder in which you can organize the logical devices that are specific to

the map.

A folder allows you to further organize devices in the Logical Tree.

When you start the Configuration Client for the first time, the Logical Tree is empty.

NOTICE!

If you move a group of devices in the Logical Tree, these devices loose their permission

settings. You must set the permissions in the

User Groups

page again.
