Description
Campus associated to the floor.
Building associated to the floor.
Floor number. The decimal place can be used for mezzanine levels.
Optional name of a floor. (If the name is not changed, it displays the name as Floor [Number] by default.)
The height and width in feet of the floor plan, including white space.
The size of the grid cells, in feet.
The number of access points on the floor.
The number of radios associated with access points on the floor
The number of wireless users associated with access points on the floor.
NOTE: Locating users consumes significant VisualRF resources. A floor with hundreds or thousands of
clients can take a long time to process.
The number of rogue devices heard by access points on the floor. This number reflects the filters
configured on the VisualRF > Setup. This means that while APs on the floor might hear more rogue devices,
they are being filtered because of weak signal, they haven't been heard recently, or they are ad-hoc.
The floor plan background or image reported, in kilobytes. The larger the file, the longer it will take to
render in the canvas.
