Auto-Matching Planned Devices

You can right-click a campus, building, or network icon and select the Auto-Match Planned Devices option to
efficiently match planned APs to managed APs. If you select this option for a campus, then all planned APs in
that campus are checked. If used on a building, then all the APs in that building are checked. If used on a floor,
then all APs on that floor are checked.
Planned devices first attempt to auto-match on MAC address, and then by name. The VisualRF MAC address
checks against all of the LAN MAC addresses of a deployed AP.
