Coverage Rate
Adjusting the coverage rate will also affect the size of the coverage circles for
AMs. Adjusting the rate values will help you understand how the coverage
works in your proposed building.
Reading Coverage Maps
Under some conditions, AP or AM signal strengths show in coverage maps
may not be reported accurately. One condition is a single AP or AM in the
corner of a building. The coverage map may show the signal strength
extending well outside the building. However, if the signal encounters nearby
interference in the building, the signal strenght may be much weaker in the
area of the interference. This area of weakened signal strength will likely not
be reflected in the coverage map.
Another condition that renders the coverage map to be somewhat inaccurate
is an environment in which multiple APs or AMs differ substantially in signal
strength. In this mixed environment, the coverage map will average signal
strengths of the devices and may report strengths slightly less than the actual
signal strength of the stronger devices and slightly greater than that of the
weaker devices.
Per Floor Recap
Between each floor display, RF Plan lists the APs and AMs defined for the
floor.
