interference (noise), external Wi-Fi interference, coverage holes, and radio failures. Self-healing is used
to enable a WLAN to better maintain wireless client performance and site coverage during dynamic RF
environment changes, which would otherwise require manual reconfiguration to resolve.
This value depends on the RF Sensitivity setting on the Basic tab.

Floor Plans
Use Floor Plans to visualize a wireless deployment, plan device placement, and troubleshoot network
performance issues. The floor plan illustrates how the location of the AP aects network performance,
and illustrates AP location within a floor plan. Floor plans retrieve a list of all APs and associated clients
on the system with their current configurations. Use the floor plan to visualize AP performance based
on signal strength and channel assignment, and to verify network readiness within a floor plan. Floor
plan statistics are refreshed with a manual page refresh.
A floor plan is associated with the site. Work with floor plans under site configuration to import, export,
or configure a floor plan. View a configured floor plan from the Site dashboard page. You can also view
floor plans from the Client and Devices workbenches.
Toggle between floor plan Configuration and floor plan View:
• From the floor plan View page, click Configure Site > Floor Plans to open the floor plan
Configuration page.

Position Aware Services
Client location tracking is designed to manage a wireless environment and its resources. The Positioning
Engine works in conjunction with the Extreme Campus Controller floor plans to define specific areas for
Position Aware Services.
The Positioning Engine determines location based on measured Received Signal Strength (RSS) of the
client stations at the AP. The location algorithm uses RF fingerprinting based on a Path Loss model and
determines location by triangulating RSS reported from one or more APs.
To improve eciency of external location related applications, Extreme Campus Controller exposes a
notification event conveying significant changes in the X/Y positioning of an associated device relative
to the site floor plan. When you have a Positioning Profile configured, Location Update messages are
