Change the primary source using Use interface at the top. The combined traffic is compared with the configured bandwidth to calculate utilisation.

+<p><strong>Advanced settings:</strong> Optional controls for moving the IN/OUT traffic labels, combining measured sources, changing the click destination and entering custom hover image URLs. Traffic label positions move the utilisation boxes along the link, independently of comment positions. Use map default follows Map Style. A normal traffic link usually needs no changes here.</p>
 <p><strong>Combining traffic sources:</strong> Add traffic source adds another interface to the map total, separately for IN and OUT. Remove source removes an additional source. Change the primary source using Use interface at the top. The combined traffic is compared with the configured bandwidth to calculate utilisation. No combined Cacti graph is created automatically; create a matching aggregate graph in Cacti and enter its click and hover URLs if needed. Separate map links are usually clearer for primary and backup connections.</p>
 <p><strong>Manual sources and URLs:</strong> The source text box edits the complete measured-source list, including the primary source. Click destination URL controls where clicking the map link goes. Main hover graph URL sets the first preview; Additional graph URL(s) accepts one extra image URL. This extra is also managed under Additional hover graphs.</p>
