Naming
You may name the floor anything you choose as long as the name is an alpha-numeric string
with a maximum length of 64 characters. The name you specify will appear just to the right of
the Floor Number displayed just above the background image in the Planning view.
Background Images
A background image (floor plan image) may be imported into RF Plan for each floor. A back-
ground image is extremely helpful when specifying areas where coverage is not desired or
areas where an AP/AM is not to be physically deployed.
Select a background image using the Browse button on the Floor Editor Dialog.
z File Type and Size
Background images must be JPEG format and may not exceed 2048 X 2048 pixels in size.
Attempting to import a file with a larger pixel footprint than that specified here will result in
the image not scaling to fit the image area in the floor display area.
N
OTE—Because the background images for your floors are embedded in the XML file
that defines your building you should strongly consider minimizing the file size of the
JPEGs you use for your backgrounds. You can minimize the file size by selecting the
maximum compression (lowest quality) in most graphics programs.
z Image Scaling
Images are scaled (stretched) to fit the display area. The display area aspect ratio is determined
by the building dimensions specified on the Dimension page.
Area Editor
The area editor allows you to specify areas on your buildings floors where you either do not
care about coverage, or where you do not want to place an AP or AM.
Open the Area Editor by clicking on the New link in the Areas field just below the area where
the background image is displayed.
