Ap Simulation (Whg321, Whg325, Whg405, Whg425, Whg515, Whg525, Whg711, Whg801); Simulation Tool (Utilities) - 4IPNET WHG315 User Manual

16.3 AP Simulation (WHG321, WHG325, WHG405,
WHG425, WHG515, WHG525, WHG711,
WHG801)
AP Simulation allows the administrator to simulate WiFi signal coverage of Access
Points. This is designed to help administrators with network survey and planning
during the initial installation stage, and also monitoring managed APs in an existing
deployment. AP Simulation is further classified into 2 features, namely Simulation
Tool (Utilities) and Managed AP Simulation (Status). Models currently supporting
the AP Simulation Utility are: WHG405, WHG425, WHG515, WHG525, WHG711 and
WHG801.

16.3.1. Simulation Tool (Utilities)

The Simulation Tool is designed to help administrators decide where APs should be
placed and whether the number of APs would satisfy the throughput requirement
during initial installation. First, a map or a floor plan in .jpg format is required, with
partitions drawn in .xml format. With the floor plan and partitions in place,
simulation APs can now be added to the floor plan for simulation as shown below.
