3 Step #1 – Configure Regions
Normally this step is performed first. Maps are created, loaded and configured before
the physical installation begins at the customer site.
It is extremely important to determine the areas ahead of time. Each floor area needs
to be discussed with the customer before beginning this step. If the customer asks for
areas to be reconfigured after the initial configuration, the rooms will have to be deleted
and redrawn, which is difficult and very time consuming. Planning ahead will optimize
your time and your relationship with the customer.
You must have a digital map of the facility in one of the following formats: JPG, GIF,
PNG. PNG is preferred, with dimensions of 2500 x 2500 pixels. The recommended
image size is 2-4 MB, but must be less than 8 MB.
