See Use the WiFi Auto Planning Advisor to Generate an RF Plan for a Floor
• (Optional) Manually add and fine-tune access points on each floor.
See Manually Add and Manage Access Points on a Floor Map for an RF Plan
page 76.
• (Optional) Manually add and fine-tune antennas.
See Manually Add and Manage Antennas on a Floor Map for an RF Plan

After you install or move the physical access points and antennas according to the RF plan
for a floor, deploy the floor plan by placing the virtual access points at the virtual locations on
the floor map to match the actual physical locations of the physical access points on the floor
as closely as possible. Doing so enables you to generate a realistic heat map for the
deployed floor plan.
