You may wish to also fine tune the signal strength cutoff criteria for displaying the SSID coverage
regions. This can be done on the Visualization Panel by adjusting the Signal Power limits.
NOTE
SSID grids are displayed as shaded when visualized in the Flat Shaded, Edges On mode (View > Shade > Flat
Shaded, Edges On).
Expected Legacy Data Rate Visualization
The Expected Legacy Data Rate visualization mode allows you to view the data connection rate that a
client might be able to achieve in an environment with optimal noise levels. Note that the data
connection rates are part of the 802.11 standards and they do not specify actual data throughput levels
achievable by the client. This visualization will show which data rates a client can expect when
connected to a best serving AP at a particular grid point based on the RSSI from the AP. The expected
data rate from the AP is derived from its RSSI at a particular point. This visualization shows rates
according to 802.11 A/B/G standards only and not 80211 N, because 11N rates cannot be determined
based on RSSI alone. Thus, 802.11 A/N or 802.11 B/G/N APs, in visualization, will be treated as 802.11
A and 802.11 B/G APs respectively. To visualize data rate, choose the Expected Legacy Data Rate option.
