Importing a Floorplan

In order to view your infrastructure devices on a floorplan, you must first import the image of your floorplan. The floorplan will be associated with a specific location. This floorplan will be saved in the enterprise database and be available to anyone using the Web Console.

The floorplan image you import must be in one of the following file formats: .jpg, .png, or .gif.

Note:   You must have a Flash plug-in for your browser in order to import a floorplan.

To import a floorplan image:

1   Navigate to the location with which you want the floorplan associated and click the Floorplans context link.

Floorplans Context Link

2   In the Selected Floor Plan panel, click New.

The New Floorplan Wizard appears.

3   Type a name for the floorplan in the Floorplan Name text box.
4   Click Select to navigate to the location of the floorplan image file. When you have selected the image file, click Next.

Note:   You can use the same image file to create multiple floorplans with different device mapping.

The Set Floorplan Scale page appears.

5   Click on the image to set a start point and an end point for a known distance on the floorplan.
6   After the start and end points have been set, the Enter actual distance options appear. Use the text box and drop-down list to indicate how far apart the start and end points are. This will set the scale for the floorplan.
7   Click Finish to save the floorplan and its scale.
