5 Under the General tab, you can do the following:
In the Name box, edit the name of the coverage area (1 to 60
characters long, with no tabs).
In the Technology list, select one of the following:
802.11a
802.11b
802.11g
802.11a and 802.11b
802.11a and 802.11g
Select 802.11a and 802.11b if the area requires 802.11a and
802.11b coverage. Select 802.11a and 802.11g if the area
requires 802.11a and 802.11g coverage.
For 802.11g, to prevent the association of 802.11b clients to any
radio in this coverage area, select Exclude 802.11b clients. To allow
802.11b clients to associate to radios in the coverage area, clear
Exclude 802.11b clients.
In the Rate [Mb/s] list, select the average desired association rate for
typical clients in this coverage area.
6 Under the Capacity tab, you can do the following:
To calculate MAP placement and configuration based on coverage
and on capacity for data, enable Use Capacity Calculation for Data.
In the Per Station Throughput list, specify the throughput (combined
transmit and receive) in kilobits per second (Kbps) for a station.
In the Expected Station Count list, specify the number of clients you
expect to be in the coverage area.
In the Station Oversubscription Ratio list, select the ratio for the
average transmit behavior of the stations.
The station oversubscription ratio is the ratio of active clients
compared to total clients. For example, the ratio 5:1 indicates that,
statistically, 20 percent of the clients are active at any given time.
To calculate MAP placement and configuration based on coverage
and on capacity for voice over IP, enable Use Capacity Calculation
for Voice.
In the Active Call Bandwidth list, specify the amount of bandwidth in
kilobits per second (Kbps) that you expect for each call.
