You may name an Access Point anything you wish. The name must be

comprised of alpha-numeric characters and be 64 characters or less in length.

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

0,0 126

418 ft.
