Map Monitor
In Cisco TMS:
Monitoring > Map Monitor
This page provides an overview of the physical locations of the systems in your network. Each folder can be
associated with its own background picture (for example country map, map of an office building and so on)
where the conferencing systems are placed on top of the picture.

Setting up an organization in Map Monitor
Only the administrator in Cisco TMS can organize the conferencing systems. Other users can see the
systems on the map, but cannot create/delete folders, move systems between folders or place the systems
on the background pictures.
systems on the map, but cannot create/delete folders, move systems between folders or place the systems
on the background pictures.
In order for the Map Monitor to be used effectively, the folders created in Cisco TMS should correspond to the
physical location of the conference systems. For example a conference system in an international company
ExampleCompany located in Chicago should have a tree structure corresponding to: ExampleCompany/
ExampleCompanyUS/ ExampleCompanyChicago. The three folders should be associated with one
background picture each. Suitable background pictures to be associated with the three folders would be: a
world map, a US map, and a layout map of the office space in Chicago. The layout map would show all the
rooms in the Chicago office, and the icons for each conference system would be placed in the right room.

Organizing folders and icons
In order to move a conference system or a folder, simply drag the icon by holding down the left mouse button
and release to place the icon. If the conference system should be moved in to another folder, just drop the
icon on the folder. To move a system upwards in the folder hierarchy, drag and drop the system to the icon
(blue circle with white triangle) located in the upper left corner of the map window. The folder structure is the
same as in the rest of Cisco TMS, and any changes in the folder hierarchy or movement of conferencing
systems is automatically updated in the rest of Cisco TMS.
