This command prompts you with a list of pre-configured access points that you
may place in your drawing. To place an access point, double click your left
mouse button on an access point from the list. Your mouse cursor will turn
into an access point that will move as you move your mouse. Left click in the
drawing to position the access point at a fixed location. You may continue to
left click to place more access points. Press the ESC key to exit place access
point mode and return to the list of pre-configured access points.
This command allows you to edit, remove, move, or copy any access point in
the drawing.
This command allows you to override the default colors of access points. It will
color code access points based on floor number, air interface, channel set,
active channel, power, antenna type, cable type, or connector type. You may
specify the colors by double clicking on a label in the dialog box that you want
to change. See
"Access Point Colors" on page 140
This command allows you to change the location of an access point. Select the
access point you wish to move from the list and click the Move button. The
mouse will then show the access point you selected and will move as you move
your mouse around the floor. Left click to place the access point in the new
location.
This command allows you to place access points that have the same properties
as another access point in your drawing by selecting an access point and then
selecting the location where you would like the copy to be placed. You may
also multi-select access points to copy more than one at a time. The software
will automatically give the new access points unique names.
Each access point in your network has a variety of specifiable characteristics
such as RF information, input power, and height above ground. This command
selectively clones specific access point attributes to single or multiple access
points.
This command opens a fly-out menu for placing, editing/removing, and moving
wireless controllers.
