Static locations are automatically saved so the save button (floppy disk) will not appear.
•
Ensure the client will remain in the same location for at least 30 minutes.
•
You should delete and resurvey an area or a floor plan after a remodel or significant interior
movement.
•
Surveys should be conducted during normal business hours to reflect normal RF activity on the

11a clients automatically inherit the proper transmit power from the 11g configuration. Most
people know the 11b/g transmit power. Example 30mW Pre-2006 Laptops equate to 20mW for
11a clients.
