Building Your Network Map 6-9
Creating Network Maps
Once you have created the new map, it displays in the appropriate place in the Map View
tree hierarchy.
The New Map View window allows you to set a variety of display and print options for
your map. To create a map file, you need only assign a unique name; the name and any
other map parameters can be changed later by accessing the Map Properties window (see
Editing Map Properties , page 6-12 , for more information). The following sections
describe how to set map parameters.
Setting Basic Map Options
NetSight Element Manager allows you to set a variety of display and print options for
each map or submap you create. You can set these options when you first create a map or
submap (via the New Map View window illustrated in
Figure 6-4 , above) or at any time
after a map or submap has been created (via the Map View Properties window, described
in
Editing Map Properties , page 6-12 ). Among the properties that you can set are its
background image and/or color, background grid settings, and print options. You can also
select a font for icon labels, and lock the map so that it cannot be altered or deleted.
When you have finished setting map parameters, click on OK to set your changes, or on
Cancel to cancel them and exit the New Map View window.
Selecting a Background Color or Image
You can assign a color or a bitmap image to the map’s background, as follows:
1. To choose background color for the Map window:
a. Select the Color option; note that when you select the Color option, the
Bitmap fields are grayed out.
b. Click Set Color . The Color window ( Figure 6-5 ) opens.
