The authors of the paper ["Webs of (p,q) 5-branes, Five Dimensional Field Theories and Grid Diagrams"](https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9710116) consider type $IIB$ superstring theory compactified on a circle $S^{1}$ and claim (in page 20) that there is a chain of string dualities between a given $(p,q)$-5 web wrapping the circle, and one $M5$-brane wrapping a $[(p,q)] \in H^{1}(T^{2},\mathbb{Z})$ cycle, with $M$-theory compactified on $T^{2}$.

**Question:** **Could anyone can show me the explicit brane configuration that maps one configuration into the other one?**
