Viewing Doors and Devices by Location

Because Gateways and related equipment are installed for specific locations, you can view door configurations in a hierarchical location map, as shown in the following figure. This map is available in both the Hardware Tree module and the Door/Location-based Hardware module of the Doors menu.

The location map can represent doors as they are organized in the real world. For example, if an organization has a campus in Bangalore, and another in San Jose, you can create a hierarchical map for each location, and assign the door configurations to a campus, building, floor, area, or sub-area. You can name the locations as needed, and place the doors at any level of the location hierarchy.

The following figure  displays an example of the location view in the Hardware Tree module. Select Location in the View menu to display the map. Although you can modify the door configurations from this view, you cannot change the location map. See Creating the Location Map for more information.
