Setting Up the Graph

To start the WLAN Visualization tool, click WLAN Visualization > Launch... This opens a new browser window

and starts the Java applet.

Note: Your browser must allow pop-up windows to open from the switch.

The first time you launch the WLAN Visualization tool, there is no background image, and all discovered WLAN

components are ungraphed. The screen is split into two panes. The left pane has four container views that are

used to hold un-graphed components. The right pane is an area where graph definitions are shown. This graph

pane is initially blank and must be defined before WLAN components can be placed.

You can create a graph for each floor of each building within the wireless system. Graphs can be created and

edited only when Live Visualization is disabled. To disable Live Visualization, click the Live Visualization control

button so that it flashes red.
