If you need to make adjustments, do the following:
1 Manually move the MAP access points, or increase the transmit power
levels.
2 Manually create more MAP access points, and place them on the floor.
3 Modify the coverage area so that the capacity requirements are higher.
If you manually add MAP access points to a coverage area, they might be
moved or removed the next time you perform Compute and Place.
If you do not plan to use the RF Auto-Tuning feature to automatically set
the channels on the MAPs after deployment and installation, use the
Assign Channels to MAPs option to assign channels to the MAPs.
Appropriate assignment of channels across the floor minimizes
co-channel interference. Figure 9 shows how to minimize co-channel
interference for an 802.11b environment when using the nonoverlapping
channels 1, 6, and 11.
