The Aruba RF Plan Tool 21
Area Editor Page
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.
You specify these areas by placing them on top of the background image using the Area Editor.
Naming
You may name an area using an alpha-numeric string of characters with a maximum length of
64 characters. You should give areas some meaningful name so that they are easily identified.
Locating and Sizing
You may specify absolute coordinates for the lower left corner and upper right corner of the box
that represents the area you are defining. The datum for measurement is the lower left corner
of the rectangular display area that represents your building’s footprint. The coordinates of the
upper right-hand corner of the display area are the absolute (no unit of measure) values of the
dimensions you gave your building when you defined it with the dimension feature.
N
OTE—The location is zero-based. Values range from 0 to (height - 1 and width - 1).For
example: If you defined your building to be 200 feet wide and 400 feet long, the coordinates
of the upper right-hand corner would be (199, 399).
You may also use the drag and drop feature of the Area Editor to drag your area to where you
want it and resize it by dragging one or more of the handles displayed in the corners of the area.
Don’t Care areas are displayed as orange rectangles and Don’t Deploy areas are displayed as yellow
