Running the AP Plan

In this section you will run the algorithm that searches for the best place to put

all your access points.

You might want to zoom in on the floor plan. Zoom using the Zoom pull-down

near the top of the AP Planning page, or type a zoom factor in the text box at

the left of the pull-down and press the enter key on your keyboard.

Try entering a zoom factor of 400.

Notice that the number of required APs is 5, the same value that you saw

when you modeled your APs above. Notice, also, that none of the APs show

on the floor plan yet.
