Provisioning Existing Access Points onto the Floor Plan

To provision existing AP in your network onto the floor plan you just uploaded, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to VisualRF > Floor Plans.
2. Select the floor plan you have uploaded using the floor number or name links in the list.
3. Select the Show AP List For Provisioning icon (stacked APs) in the Edit menu widget. A popup window list
of devices in your AMP appears on the screen, as shown on
Figure 37 Provisioning APs onto the Floor Plan
4. Select whether to navigate by Group or by Folder in the View By field.
NOTE: Alternatively, you can use the Search field.
5. Expand the Group or Folder containing the access points which need to be provisioned on this floor plan.
6. Click and hold on an AP which has an AP icon next to it. The red circle with a line through it means the AP
has already been provision onto this or another floor plan.
7. Drag the AP to its proper location on the floor.
8. Once all APs are provisioned on the floor plan, select Save (floppy disk icon) in the top right of the QuickView
window.
NOTE: The floor is submitted to one of the core threads to recalculate path loss and then to one of the location caching threads to
recalculate client locations. All changes may not be visible on a refresh until this process complete.
