The 3Com Wireless LAN Switch Manager (3WXM) planning tools help
you plan your mobility system. This chapter discusses the Building wizard
and describes how to create a site, create or modify buildings, import or
draw floor details, specify the RF characteristics of a floor, define a
wireless coverage area, compute MAP placement, and generate RF
network design information.
The 3WXM planning tools calculate the 3Com equipment you need, how
to configure it, and where to install it, all based on the information you
provide about your wireless coverage needs.
You can display projected coverage, and even experiment with network
changes. In addition, when you add the geographical information about
your network to 3WXM, you can use 3WXM to visually find network
clients or rogue devices.
The planning tools are provided by the Building wizard. To access the
wizard, do one of the following:
If you are creating a new site, navigate to the Building page in the Site
wizard, and either select Building1 and click Modify, or click New
Building. (To create a site, see "Creating a Site" on page 101.)
If you are modifying an existing site, do one of the following:
Right-click on the site name in the Organizer panel and select
Insert.
Right-click on a building name or floor name under a site in the
Organizer panel and select Properties.
