Access Point Associations

Summit WMScanner utilizes a site-specific model of the measurement environment to associate
measurements with a location based upon a 3D X, Y, Z-based coordinate system. Associating with an
access point is necessary if you choose to optimize your WLAN plan. In order to optimize, the planning
tool must know which access point you were connected to when taking measurements so that it can
accurately compare measured values to the prediction from the correct access point in the drawing. To
associate, select Measurement Survey> Access Point Associations:
Select the measurement run from the Edit Measurement Run dialog box:
When the Access Point Associations dialog box displays, edit the associations between measurement
channels or frequencies and access points in the environment. The association between a measurement
run and an access point is an essential part of the process of using measurements to optimize RF
propagation simulation parameters with Optimize Predictions. The Access Point Associations functionality
is included in Summit WMScanner because it is often convenient to make these associations while out in
