Moving The Aps Into More Efficient Positions - Ruckus Wireless ZoneDirector 1100 User Manual

2. If Map View displays a floorplan with active device symbols, you can assess the performance
of individual APs, in terms of coverage. (See
page 182 for information on setting up the Map View.)
3. For the Coverage option, click 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
4. When the "heat map" appears, look for a Signal% scale in the upper right corner of the map.
5. Note the color range, especially colors that indicate low coverage.
6. Look at the floorplan and evaluate the current coverage.

Moving the APs into More Efficient Positions

You can now move the APs into more efficient positions.
1. To do so, click and drag individual AP markers on the Map View floorplan until your RF
coverage coloration is optimized. (You may need to acquire additional APs to fill in large
coverage gaps.)
2. Note the new physical locations of relocated AP markers.
3. After physically relocating the actual APs in accordance with Map View repositioning,
reconnect each AP to a power source.
When ZoneDirector has recalibrated the Map View after each AP restart, you can assess your
changes and make further adjustments as needed.
