About the LAN map
About the LAN map
1. Summary
The LAN map shows terminal information for the agent devices (Yamahaswitches, Yamaha wireless AP) that are connected to the network, providing a visualization of the entire network. You can use the GUI toview the agent status and make VLAN settings. You can also detectnetwork problems to gather information when troubleshooting a problem.
-
The switch that controls the LAN map (this unit) is called the"manager," and the Yamaha switches and Yamaha wireless AP units that are controlled by the manager are called "agentes."
2. Using the LAN map
Here we explain how to use the LAN map.
2.1. About the buttons
-
Snapshot button
You can save the current agent and terminal connection status as a snapshot. You can also export, import, or delete snapshots.
*In order to use the snapshot function, you must enable the snapshot function from
"Settings".
*Depending on the network structure, it may take several minutesfor saving to be completed. During this time, other processing can still be executed.
-
When exporting a snapshot, please allow pop-ups in your browser settings.
-
Notice button
Messages for the current network are displayed. This notifies you of agent problems such as a stopped fan or a loop that has occurred.
-
History button
This displays the history of notification messages. The history can save up to 1000 items.
If you press the "Delete all" button, all history is deleted.
-
Device list button
The "Device list page" is shown in a separate window. In thedevice list page you can view a list of the terminals and agentesmanaged in the LAN map, and manage terminal information.
-
"Whole map" button
The "Whole map page" is shown in a separate window. On the wholemap page, the devices connected to the LAN are displayed on the samemap.
-
Settings button
Here you can make settings for the LAN map function.
2.2. Using the LAN map
To use the LAN map, open the "LAN map settings" dialog box from the"Settings" button, and select the "Manager" check box in the basicsettings under "L2MS operation mode".
If "L2MS operation mode" is set to "Agent" or "Do not use", youcannot use the LAN map for this unit. If this unit is operating as aagent, use the LAN map on the manager that is controlling this unit.
2.3. Change pages
The LAN map consists mainly of map, tag VLAN, and multiple VLAN pages.
To switch the page that is displayed, use the page selection toggle switch located in the upper part of the screen.
2.4. Use the snapshot function
The snapshot function compares the current network connection stateto the previously saved network connection state (snapshot), and if achange is detected, displays a warning message. To use the snapshotfunction, perform the following operations.
-
Use the
"Settings" button to open the "LAN map settings" dialog box, and in the snapshot function settings section, select "Use the snapshot function". If you wantterminals to also be included in the comparison, select either "Includeall terminals in comparison" or "Include only wired terminals incomparison" depending on the terminals that you want to compare.
-
Use the
"Snapshot" button to save the snapshot. If you want to apply an exported snapshot to a manager, import that snapshot.
3. Differences in what administrative users and general users can do
Basically, a general user can only view information, and cannotperform operations that modify settings, manage snapshots, edit oroperate the terminal DB and so on. An administrative user can performall operations.
The following operations cannot be performed by a general user.
-
Agent management
-
Using the "Settings" button to change LAN map settings
-
Using the "Acquire" button to acquire device information.
-
Using the "Snapshot" button to manage snapshots
-
Editing, deleting, newly registering, importing, and exporting a terminal DB
