Appendix E – MMS to AMP Floor Plan Conversion
The instructions below will enable you to seamlessly migrate all building, campus, and floor plan
information previously entered into MMS.
Pre conversion checklist
The conversion tool is only supported in IE6 or IE7. Prior to importing floor plans ensure you
VisualRF's memory allocation is sufficient for the anticipated number of floors plans. To change the
memory allocation, navigate to the VisualRF
accordingly. Memory allocation should equal .5 GB for 1 – 75 floor plans, 1 GB for 76 – 250 floor plans,
1.5 GB for 251 – 500 floor plans, and 2 GB for 501 – 1,000 floor plans.
Note: Importing a large number of floor plans can impact performance of the AWMS server. The VisualRF service
must create a thumbnail, provision APs, create attenuation grid, and locate all clients on each imported floor plan.
This can cause the VisualRF --> Floor Plans page to be unresponsive.
Process
1. Navigate to VisualRF
2. Select the "Import floor plans from MMS" link
3. Input the following information:
Host – enter the hostname or IP address of the MMS server
Username – enter the MMS administrative user account.
Password
Context (optional) – restrict to a particular building, campus context or leave blank for all
floor plans.
4. Click on the "Export" button and it will automatically redirect to the page below detailing the
status of the export.
