To change the memory allocation, navigate to the VisualRF > Setup page and configure the memory allocation
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 AirWave server. VisualRF 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.
