7.2.1 AP Coverage View
This view displays color‐coded RSSI distribution over the current layout. It helps you plan for available signal strength at a
specific location and check the availability of RF signal at different locations on the plan. This helps you ensure that all the
regions in the plan have coverage from at least one AP. In case there is more than one AP covering an area on the layout, you
can see the strongest signal strength in this view.
Clicking at a point on the layout displays the predicted RSSI at that point in the Status bar.
