Defining Wireless Coverage Areas 139
Drawing a Coverage Area
3WXM supports concave polygons, which have an internal angle greater
than 180 degrees. When drawing a polygon, make sure that two sides of
the polygon do not intersect each other, as shown in the following
figure. Also make sure start and end points and the vertices are not too
close.
If you are using a complex concave polygon as a coverage area,
computation of MAP access points might take longer than the
computation for an area with a less complicated shape.
When drawing a coverage area, make sure it extends just short of
external walls. If the coverage area includes external walls, 3WXM
accounts for the external walls when computing how many MAP access
points are required for the coverage area. This might lead to an
inaccurate MAP count.
In the Insert Area group box in the Define Coverage page, click one of
the following icons and draw the object as described in the following
table.
