Drawing A Coverage Area - Nortel 2350 Reference Manual

Figure 6: Unsupported Shared Coverage Area Example
Area 1
Keep the following in mind when planning shared coverage areas:
• Two coverage areas using the same wireless technology cannot be shared.
• A coverage area using 802.11b and a coverage area using 802.11g cannot be shared.
• APs placed in shared areas must be configured as dual-radio models.

Drawing a Coverage Area

WMS supports concave polygons, which have an internal angle greater than 180 degrees. When drawing a polygon,
make sure that two sides of the polygon do not intersect each other, as shown in
points and the vertices are not too close.
Figure 7: Unsupported Polygon Shape
If you are using a complex concave polygon as a coverage area, computation of APs might take longer than the compu-
tation for an area with a less complicated shape.
When drawing a coverage area, make sure it extends just short of external walls. If the coverage area includes external
walls, WMS accounts for the external walls when computing how many APs are required for the coverage area. This
might lead to an inaccurate AP count.
