v2.0.3 User’s Guide January 2004
Import and Export
RF Plan allows you to import and export files that define the parameters of your buildings.
The files that you import and export are XML files and depending on how many floors your
buildings have, and particularly how many background images you have for your floors, the
XML files may be quite large. (See “Background Images” on page 20.)
Buildings exported from RF Plan will be imported into an Aruba switch and used by the ver-
sion of RF Plan that is integrated into the RF Director Software. The exported building file
contains all the data about the building(s) you created using RF Plan. The integrated RF Plan
in RF Director gives you the ability to automatically configure the APs and AMs that are actu-
ally connected to the switch using the Suggested AP and Suggested AM tables created by RF
Plan. (See “AP Plan” on page 24 and “AM Plan” on page 27.)
Import Buildings
The Import Buildings page allows you to import configuration information from an existing
Aruba switch so you can modify it for use on another switch or in an another building.
Only XML files exported from an Aruba switch or from Aruba RF Plan may be imported into
RF Plan.
N
OTE—Importing any other file, including XML files from other applications, may result in
unpredictable results.
Any file you wish to import must be in the C:\Program Files\Aruba RF Plan\data\ path. You
can not specify any other path in the RF Plan Import Buildings dialog.
