APPENDIX: SGWIP APPLICATION USER MANUAL

1. Installation1.1. System Requirements

1.1.1. Apache web server1.1.2. PHP1.1.3. MySQL Server

1.2. DatabaseThe database is named “amiwmn”. There is a user account name “user_name” created for accessing the Database from the Web application “SGWIP”. The “user_name” account has been assigned enough permission to allow the Web application “SGWIP” access the tables in the database.

1.3. Web Application “SGWIP”The web application SGWIP is installed on the Apache Web server.For example the application was install on the local web server as the following Linux Fedora file system:

/usr/share/gmaps_php_codes/SGWIP3<List of the files of the application>< …>

2. GUI Operations2.1. Open the main page:

http://192.168.1.9/googlemapsbook/NetTopology/SGWIP2/wan.html

2.2. Generate the Wide Area Network (WAN) for viewing in the first time- Click the menu item “New”- Wait for the GUI being generated and displayed on the Google maps (this process

may take many seconds to finish the job)

Note: To return back to the WAN topology in the current path of the topology exploration

- Click the menu item “WAN”

2.3. Generate the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) for viewing in the first time- Click on the corresponding rectangle from the WAN topology GUI. A rectangle is

a Google Maps overlay object that represents for a network topology. - Wait for the network topology GUI being generated and displayed on the Google

Maps (this process may take many seconds to finish the job)

Note: To return back to the MAN topology in the current path of the topology exploration- Click the menu item “MAN”

2.4. Generate the Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) for viewing in the first time- Click on the corresponding rectangle from the MAN topology GUI. A rectangle is

a Google Maps overlay object that represents for a network topology.- Wait for the network topology GUI being generated and displayed on the Google

maps (this process may take many seconds to finish the job)

Figure-1 an example

Note: To return back to the NAN topology in the current path of the topology exploration

- Click the menu item “NAN”

2.5. Generate the Local Area Network (LAN) for viewing in the first time- Click on the corresponding rectangle from the NAN topology GUI. A rectangle is

a Google Maps overlay object that represents for a network topology.- Wait for the network topology GUI being generated and displayed on the Google

maps (this process may take many seconds to finish the job)

Figure-1 an example

Note: To return back to the LAN topology in the current path of the topology exploration- Click the menu item “LAN”

2.6. Change the antenna location of a network device such as WiMAX BaseStation, WiMAX/WiFi Gateway, or AP/Mesh Router

- Click the menu item “On-Change-Antenna-Loc”- Click the changed Antenna- Navigate to the destination network topology where there is an hanging object

such as street light poles, or the housing/building unit.- Click the target hanging object to select a new location for the antenna.
