The larger the value, the more it moves to the right, and the smaller the value, the more it moves to the left, based on the horizontal rotation axis of the picture angle adjustment button. The default is 0 (meter). Origin Y[m]: Adjusts the vartical position of the origin (upper left) of the floor map image by an integer from -1000 to 1000 (unit: meter). The larger the value, the more it moves downwards, and the smaller the value, the more it moves upwards, based on the horizontal rotation axis of the picture angle adjustment button. The default is 0 (meter). Ceiling Height[m]: Specify the floor height by an integer from 1 to 100 (in meters). The default is 10 (meters). This setting is reflected in the drawing spacing from the floor above in the 3D floor map. It does not affect the simulation of radio wave strength in the heat map. The default is 10 (meters).

Trace count | Specifies the number of client movement histories to be reflected in the flow lines on the floor map. In the case of wireless clients whose location is estimated by Client Location Estimation, the floor map will reflect the estimated location for the specified number of times from the history of location estimation performed. For wireless clients that do not have client location estimation applied, the floor map will reflect the connection locations for the specified number of times from the roaming history of the connected AP.
Specified period | Check this box if you want to specify a specific period of the location estimation history or connection history to be displayed on the floor maps. When checked, you can specify the start and end date and time of a specified period manully or using the calendar control. Specify the period and click the "Search" button to reflect it in the list.
Checkbox | Select a wireless client to display its estimated location or associated wireless APs on the floor map.
MAC Address | Shows the MAC address of the wireless client.
Hops | Displays the hop count of the wireless client. For wireless clients whose connection location is estimated by Client Location Estimation, specify the number of times the location estimation is performed for each wireless client on the floor map. Only the specified number of the most recent hops will be displayed for each client. For wireless clients where Client Location Estimation is not applied, the roaming count of the connected wireless AP is displayed.
Icon | Displays the wireless client icon shown on the floor map. If a custom icon is defined to the MAC address of the wireless client on the "Group" list in the Vista Manager EX's "Asset Management" page, the icon will be displayed. See the "Asset Management" section of the Vista Manager EX User Guide for more information If a custom icon is not defined to the MAC address, by default, the Vista Manager EX's Unidentified device icon (with a question symbol) will be applied. If the client does not yet appear on the Vista Manager EX's "Network Map" (for example, right after the client connected to the AP), or, if you are browsing on the AWC Plug-in in the Standalone mode, a note PC icon will be applied temporarily.
