Creating the Location Map

To create or modify the location map for door configurations, select the Doors > Door/Location-based Hardware command. This map is also displayed in the Hierarchical Location view of the Hardware Tree module, as described in Viewing Doors and Devices by Location.

The following figure  shows a sample location map. You can use any combination of map elements, such as campus, building, and floor.

Use the following methods to create and modify the location map.

·         To create a new base, click the Add Base... button in the toolbar menu.

·         To create a sub-location, right-click on a location and select New [Element] from the pop-up menu.

·         To change the properties for an element, right-click on a location and select Edit from the pop-up menu.

·         To add a door, right-click the driver appropriate to the controller (either EM-100 Driver or GW Access Driver) and select Add Door...
For more on this, see Configuring Doors.

You can create any combination of location elements and doors can be assigned to any level of the hierarchical tree. For example, if a building has only one entrance, you can assign the door at the building level. For larger locations with multiple doors, you may need to assign a door to a specific floor or area within the building.
