The Aruba RF Plan Tool 15
Design Models
Two radio buttons on the page allow you to control the kind of model which will be used to
determine the number and type of APs.
Design Model Radio Button Options:
N
OTE—The monitor rates you select for the AMs should be less than the data rates you
selected for the APs. If you set the rate for the AMs at a value equal to that specified for the
corresponding PHY type AP, RF Plan will allocate one AM per AP. If you specify a monitor
rate larger than the data rate, RF Plan will allocate more than one AM per AP.
Monitor Rates
Use the drop down menus to select the desired monitor rates for 802.11b/g and 802.11a air
monitors.
N
OTE—This option is available only when the coverage design model is selected.
z Coverage Use this option to let RF Plan automatically determine the number
of AMs based on desired monitor rates and the configuration of
your building.
Desired rate is selectable from 1 to 54 Mbps in the Coverage model.
z Custom Use this option to simply specify a fixed number of AMs. When the
AM Plan portion of RF Plan is executed, RF Plan will make an even
distribution of the AMs.
