30 Aruba RF Plan Part 0500030-01
v2.0.3 User’s Guide January 2004
Colored circles around the AP symbols on the floor plan indicate the approximate coverage of
the individual AP and the color of the circle represents the channel on which the AP is operat-
ing. The circles appear when you select an approximate coverage value on one of the Floors
pages. You may also use click on an AP icon and drag it to manually reposition it.
Start
Click on the Start button to launch the optimizing algorithm. You will see the AP symbols
moving on the page as RF Plan finds the optimum location for each.
The process may take several minutes. You may watch the progress on the status bar of your
browser. The algorithm will stop when the movement is less than a threshold value calculated
based on the number of APs. The threshold value may be seen in the status bar at the bottom
of the browser window.
Viewing the Results
The results of optimizing algorithm may be viewed two ways: graphically and in a table of sug-
gested APs. You may obtain information about a specific AP by placing the cursor over its
symbol. An information box will appear containing information about the exact location, PHY
type, channel, power, etc.
