The following sections describe how to import RF measurements from
your network, or how to import RF measurements from an Ekahau site
survey.
You can apply the RF measurements derived from the MAPs in your
WLAN (which regularly monitors the RF environment) to your network
plan. The RF measurements are taken from MAP radios.
After you apply the RF measurements, the floor's RF model (obstacles)
will be optimized with this data.
To import RF measurements from MAPs
1 Select the RF Planning option in the main 3WXM tool bar.
2 Display the floor plan in the Content panel.
3 In the Task List panel, click RF Planning.
4 Under Site Survey, click Import Measurement. The Import RF
Measurements wizard is displayed.
5 Select Yes next to Network.
6 Click Next.
The import progress is displayed. When the import is done, click Finish to
accept the changes and close the wizard.
After you apply the network RF measurements, you correct the
attenuation factors for the floor. Go to "Optimizing the RF Coverage
Model" on page 187 for information about this topic.
