AirProtect Enterprise
3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise monitors and protects the corporate network that includes both wired and wireless devices on a
24x7 basis. Two key features of 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise are:
•
Live RF Views: Enables you to take live RSSI readings from the Sensors to show live RF coverage maps for any
layout.
•
Location tracking on a layout: Enables you to track the location of any device on a layout.
To enhance accuracy of these features in 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise, you can optionally export a layout created in Planner.
Exporting the Project from Planner
The Export Project feature enables you to package the current project into a .zip file. You might want to export a project for the
following reasons:
•
To import the project into 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise
•
To import the project into some other system where Planner is running
While exporting the project you have an option to export the preferences of your system as well. When you open the exported
project in another system with Planner installed, this option helps you to override the preferences in the other system to get
the same environment that you used while planning the project.
While exporting, the following files: .spm, images, and preferences (if selected) are packaged into a single file.
Use the following steps to export the project:
1 Go to the Layout Designer screen of Planner.
2 Go to File Export Project.
Note: You can only export the current layout. You cannot export the layout from the AP Spillage, Sensor Spillage, and Calibration Views
in the Network Planner.
