Whole map

1. Summary

The whole map shows all devices connected to the network, using a single topology. You can switch the topology display range and the device information view, to customize the display and make it easier to view. Use the print function to print the whole map displayed, in order to make use of the map in various network operation management-related situations.

2. Points of Caution

  • Cookies are used and saved for the whole map view settings. Enable cookies on your browser to save the whole map view settings. See the help content supplied with your browser for instructions on how to enable cookies. If you have made changes to the settings but the changes are not reflected when accessing the whole map once more, cookies may be disabled or have been deleted in your browser.

  • You can confirm the link speed between devices (the link speed of the port belonging to higher devices) and link speed, by checking the color and shape of the connector lines between the device icons.

    • See the legend at the top right of the screen for how the colors correspond to link speeds.

    • The link speeds of terminals connected to a Yamaha wireless AP or agents for which the type cannot be determined are shown using gray-colored connector lines.

3. About the buttons

4. About the mini whole map

The mini whole map is a reduced version of the whole map. Use this to get a bird’s-eye view of the entire map. You can also use the focus function to understand which agent is getting the focus. See Using the focus function for details.

Note: If the total number of managers, agents and SSIDs on the whole map exceed 200, the mini whole map will not be displayed.

5. Switching the device information view

You can switch the device information shown on the right-hand side of the device icons. You can set the items to be displayed for the agents and terminals individually. Use the following operations to configure the settings.

  1. Press the image "View settings" button at the upper right-hand part of the screen. The view settings screen will display directly below.

  2. Select the items to view using the drop-down list boxes to the right of the "agent information" and "terminal information" on the view settings screen. When these items are selected, the device information shown at the right of the device icons on the whole map will switch to the selected item. The settings will automatically be saved at the timing in which they are switched.

    Note: The four drop-down list boxes are lined up vertically corresponding to the order in which the device information to the right of the device icons on the whole map is displayed.

Agent information to view can be selected from the following.

  • Device name

  • MAC address

  • Model name

  • IP address

  • Hide

Terminal information to view can be selected from the following.

  • IP address

  • Manufacturer

  • Device name

  • MAC address

  • Model name

  • Comment

  • OS

  • Hide

Up to 30 single-byte characters are displayed for the device information. If the text length exceeds 30 single-byte characters, the rest of the item will be omitted.

6. Displaying/hiding a terminal

You can switch between displaying or hiding terminals shown on the whole map. If you do not need to manage terminals, you can hide the terminals and show only the agents, making the view easier to read. Use the following operations to configure the settings.

  1. Press the image "View settings" button at the upper right-hand part of the screen. The view settings screen will display directly below.

  2. There is a checkbox to the left of "Device Information" on the view settings screen. Selecting the checkbox displays the device, and clearing it hides the device. The settings will automatically be saved at the timing in which they are switched.

7. Switching the port information view

You can switch between displaying or hiding the connecting port and VLAN information shown on the topology of the whole map. Use the following operations to configure the settings.

  1. Press the image "View settings" button at the upper right-hand part of the screen. The view settings screen will display directly below.

  2. Select the check boxes in "Port information" on the view settings screen for the "Port number" and "VLAN-ID" to view this information, and deselect the check boxes to hide the information. The settings will automatically be saved at the timing in which they are switched.

8. Using the focus function

Press the agent icon on the whole map for a focused view of the topology, including the selected agents and the devices that they control.

Focusing on this view will enable the image "Top" button and the image "Up" button in the top left part of the screen. Press the image "Top" button to return to a view of the overall topology, centered on the manager. Press the image "Up" button on the top left part of the screen to view the topology, centered on the agents or managers one level above. The agents that are at the center of the topology’s focus are shown within a blue border on the mini whole map at the right side of the screen, which helps you to understand their location. You can also view the "Route" in the upper left part of the screen to confirm the location of an agent.

9. Printing the whole map

Using the whole map, you can print the currently viewed whole map from the Print preview. Use the following operations to print.

  1. Press the image "Print preview" button at the upper right part of the screen. The Print preview will be displayed in a separate window.

  2. Check the Print preview and press the "Print this page" button on the upper part of the screen if everything looks the way you want it. The browser’s print preview will be displayed. Set the paper size to A4 or larger when printing.

    Note: When changing the focus or device information view after displaying the Print preview, close the Print preview first, make changes to the focus or device information view on the whole map, and then press the image "Print preview" button again to open the Print preview. The settings cannot be changed from the Print preview.

    Note: When opening an agent configuration series for a topology that is long (in other words, a topology that is too wide to fit) in the Print preview, the width of the topology on the Print preview will be adjusted to horizontally accommodate A4-sized paper.

Note: To use the print function, please use a recommended Web browser other than Firefox. The display may be distorted when using Firefox.

10. Checking the terminals connected to wireless AP

The terminals connected to a wireless AP will be shown for each SSID on the whole map.

Note: Some devices connected to a wireless AP may not display, depending on the firmware version of the wireless AP.

The SSIDs that are set for the wireless AP are shown as icons under the wireless AP icon. Terminals connected by an SSID are displayed under their respective SSID icon. The following information regarding the SSID is displayed to the right of the SSID icon.

  • SSID name

  • Frequency band

The items displayed cannot be switched.
