Facility MapsFacility MapsZonesThe settings for the maps and zones will have been completed by yourauthorized Hugs dealer.Maps are used to represent the area covered by the Hugs system. Depending onthe size of the facility, more than one map may be required to provide anappropriate level of detail. (Icons for a single device can be added to more thanone map.)When an alarm occurs, the software automatically displays the appropriate map,and shows the location of the tag in alarm if it is at an Exciter (exit).Maps must be in the graphical bitmap (.bmp) or JPEG (.jpg) form, and can beeither color or gray scale. For consistent colors across several Hugs systemcomputers, choose the same number of display colors within each computer.Zones are a way of dividing the area covered by the Hugs system into sections,and customizing the system alarm responses in each section to suit your securityrequirements. The benefit is that users in one area only see alarms that occur intheir section.How Zones workEach Exciter in the Hugs system is assigned to a Zone. When admitting a tag,indicate in which Zone the tag is currently located. Then, every time the tag seesan Exciter, the Zone information is updated automatically. The tag alarms areonly reported to the Zone that the tag has been assigned to during theadmittance procedure.PCs can also be configured to display alarms from only selected Zones. Staff atthat PC receive immediate notification of the alarm, while staff in other areas arenot disturbed.3–2 Hugs User Guide
