Adding a Map

You can add one or more maps to each site listed in Site Manager.
Resonate RFID Reader Management
 uses the maps to show the location of managed RFID readers. For a multistory building site, add a map for each floor that has RFID readers to manage. For a campus site with several buildings and parking lots, add a map for each area that has RFID readers to manage.

  9. In the
    Zoom
     field, set the maximum level to which users can zoom in when viewing the site map in the
    web interface
    .
    The default value is 4, and the maximum available value is 8. The higher the value, the longer the load time.
  10. Click
    Upload
    .
    The upload process can take a few seconds to many minutes, depending on the map size and the
    Zoom
     setting. The reason is that the map is uploaded and tiled for later use. Tiling is done only when uploading a map into the system. After a few seconds, you will return to the site properties window, but the tiling process continues in the background. The name of the uploaded site map is listed under
    Site Maps
    , and the map image is displayed in the lower section of the window.
