OmniAccess RF Plan User Guide: User Guide

24 Part 031649-00 May 2005

Location

The physical location of the AP is specified by X-Y coordinates beginning at the

lower left corner of the display area. The numbers you specify in the X and Y

text boxes are whole units. The X coordinates increase as a point moves up the

display and the Y coordinates increase as they move from left to right across

the display.

Fixed

Fixed APs don’t move when RF Plan executes the positioning algorithm.

NOTE—You might typically set an AP as fixed when you have a specific room,

such as a conference room, in which you want saturated coverage. You

might also want to consider using a Fixed AP when you have an area that

has an unusually high user density.

Choose Yes or No from the drop down box. Choosing Yes will lock the

position of the AP as it is shown in the coordinate boxes of the Access Editor.

Choosing No will allow RF Plan to move the AP as necessary to achieve best

performance.

PHY Types

The PHY Type drop down menu allows you to specify what radio mode the AP

will use. You may choose from one of the following:

z 802.11a/b/g

z 802.11a

z 802.1 b/g

802.11 Types

The 802.11 b/g and 802.11a Type drop down boxes allow you to choose the

mode of operation for the access point. You may choose to set the mode of

operation to access point (Alcatel AP) or Air Monitor.

802.11 Channels

The 802.11a and 802.11b/g channel drop down menus allow you to select

from the available channels.

OTE—The available channels will vary depending on the regulatory domain

(country) in which the device is being operated.
