Exporting Site Information from Summit WMScanner into Summit
WMS
Once Summit WMScanner is correctly installed site information can be saved and moved between the
Summit WMS and Summit WMScanner applications.
CAUTION
Summit WMScanner drawings exported to Summit WMS can use a maximum of 8 unique partition types. If
duplicate partition types are used in the same Summit WMScanner design, some wall information will be discarded
when the design is exported to Summit WMS. In Summit WMS, walls will be missing from floor plan displays and
heat maps will not properly record the presence of the obstructions.
To export information between Summit WMScanner and Summit WMS:
1 Launch Summit WMScanner from within a Summit WMS site, by selecting the desktop icon or by
using the Start menu and selecting Programs > Summit WMScanner > Summit WMScanner.
No login or password requirement exists.
2 Within Summit WMScanner, select the File menu and open an existing drawing or create a new one.
Make those modifications required necessary in Summit WMScanner to make the revised (or new)
site drawing relevant for deployment in Summit WMS.
Modifying or creating a drawing opens the drawing’s project workspace within the Summit
WMScanner console. Use Summit WMScanner to format the drawing and place access points.
During the system design phase, information such as wall material types, attenuation factors and
configured access points are pulled from information stored in the project workspace. To access the
Summit WMScanner User Guide for detailed information on managing work spaces and creating
drawings that can be used with Summit WMS, refer to
http://www.extremenetworks/go/documentation.
3 Define the Summit WMS configuration Summit WMScanner uses to communicate with Summit
WMS.
From within the Summit WMScanner Utilities menu, select WMS Configuration.
The WMS Configuration screen displays. The screen is partitioned into two fields, the WMS Server
Configuration field is used to provide the network credentials required to access the Summit WMS
