PTIMIZING A
After deploying a network plan to the 3Com equipment in your live
network, optimize the plan based on RF information from the network.
The RF information can be from a site survey or from MAP radios.
Site survey—RF measurements come from a site survey file generated
by the Ekahau Site Survey™ tool. Save the file in comma-separated
values (csv) format and import the file into 3WXM.
MAP radios—RF measurements come from the MAPs in the network.
Optimizing your network plan improves the accuracy of the model and
provides more precise results when you visualize wireless coverage, locate
users and rogue devices, and so on. You also can use optimization to find
and fill coverage holes.
To import RF measurements, you need to import the measurements from
MAP radio in the network, from a site survey file, or both. Then, update
the RF obstacle data.
To import the measurements:
1 Select the RF Planning option in the main 3WXM tool bar.
2 Display the floor plan in the Content panel.
3 Under Site Survey, click Import Measurement. The Import RF
Measurements wizard is displayed.
