Importing from a Dell PowerConnect W-Series Controller

The instructions below will enable you to seamlessly migrate all building, campus, and floor plan information
previously entered into a Dell PowerConnect W-Series controller.

Pre-Conversion Checklist

Prior to importing floor plans, ensure your VisualRF's memory allocation is sufficient for the anticipated number
of floors plans.
To change the memory allocation, navigate to the VisualRF > Setup page and configure the memory allocation
accordingly. Memory allocation should equal .5 GB for 1-75 floor plans, 1 GB for 76-250 floor plans, 1.5 GB for
251-500 floor plans, and 2 GB for 501-1,000 floor plans.
NOTE: Importing a large number of floor plans can impact performance of the AMP server. VisualRF must create a thumbnail,
provision APs, create attenuation grid, and locate all clients on each imported floor plan. This can cause the VisualRF > Floor Plans
page to be unresponsive.

Process on Controller

1. On the controller's UI navigate to the Plan > Building List page.
2. Select the buildings to be exported and select Export.
3. When the dialog box appears, make sure that you have included all images and select Save to a file.

Process on AMP

1. Navigate to VisualRF > Import.
2. Select the Import floor plans from a Dell Controller link.
3. Select the Begin Importing Floor Plans link.
4. When prompted for input file, use the file saved from the controller process.

VisualRF Location APIs

VisualRF provides the following location APIs:
Site Inventory:
You can find the site_id from the Floor Plan List query defined on the XML API page

This interface provides floor details including access points, walls, regions, surveys, etc.
