152 Using RF Planning
After the calculations are performed, the number of APs from capacity and the number of APs from coverage are
compared, and the bigger count "wins." If capacity wins, a grid pattern of APs is established. The AP coverage positions
are reused, with the excess APs remaining in their original grid position.
Note.
Using a "clean" RF model is imperative for best results. If you have many parallel
RF obstacles that are close together, the placement algorithm tends to add more APs than
are required. So, even with the automatic clean layout mechanism in WMS, complex
drawings demand additional pruning and isolation of single RF obstacles objects to keep
the RF obstacle count as low as possible. For more information about cleaning your floor
plans, refer to
When you are performing Compute and Place for a coverage area for the first time, the results do not account for
existing AP. Manual overrides of the AP results are not taken into account if you perform Compute and Place again.
To determine the number and placement of APs
1
Display the floor plan in the Content panel.
2
In the Task List panel, click RF Planning.
3
Under RF Planning, click Compute and Place. The Compute and Place wizard appears.
4
To remove a coverage area from AP placement and computation, clear the area's Compute Layout box.
5
To specify the primary wiring closet for a coverage area, click in the Wiring Closet column to display the
wiring closet list and select a wiring closet from the list.
