Room Topology
A room topology displays the position relationships between cabinets and other objects in an equipment room. The room topology consists of two areas, a 3D area at the upper part and a 2D area at the lower part. By default, only the 3D area is displayed.
In the room topology, you can add cabinets and room objects and lay out them to display the room structure more vividly. In this way, you can monitor and manage the network device resources more effectively and conveniently.
The room topology supports label configuration, which visually displays the basic information of the room for users. You can configure the contents, color, font size, and location of a label. The location of the label is determined by the user-defined X coordinate and Y coordinate, with the upper left corner of the interface as the zero coordinate.

Precautions
- The default height of a cabinet is 46U.
- To zoom in or out a room topology, click the 3D area and roll the wheel of your mouse. The room topology can zoom in or out centered on the pointer.
- To move a room topology, drag the 3D topology and move it up, down, left, or right.
- To rotate a room topology, hold the Ctrl key and then drag the 3D topology. You can rotate the room topology 90 degrees vertically or horizontally.
- To change the size of an object, select the object in the edit panel and drag the eight square resize handles of the object. You can also adjust the size of the object by holding the Shift key and using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
- To move an object, select the object in the edit panel and drag it to the target position. You can also move the selected object by using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
- To set the left or right image bounds, type a string consists of four numbers separated by commas in the Left Image Bounds or Right Image Bounds field. For example, if you type 10,20,50,100 in the Left Image Bounds field, the left image bounds of the selected object is located at the starting coordinate (10,20) and the size of the left image is 50 in width and 100 in height.
- To use the left or right image texture, set true in the Left Image Texture or Right Image Texture field. Note that once you use the image texture, the image bound settings are invalid.
- The default left or right image texture scale is 3. The larger the value, the greater the texture size.
- You cannot group or enter the rack topology of unsaved cabinets.
- Only one label can be configured for a room.
