142 CHAPTER 4: PLANNING THE 3COM MOBILITY SYSTEM
Specifying the Wireless Technology for a Coverage Area
(To draw a coverage area, see “Drawing a Coverage Area” on page 139.)
To specify wireless technology for a coverage area:
1 In the Technology list of the Coverage Area Choices wizard, select one of
the following:
 802.11a
 802.11b
 802.11g
 802.11a and 802.11b
 802.11a and 802.11g
Select 802.11a and 802.11b if the area requires 802.11a and 802.11b
coverage. Select 802.11a and 802.11g if the area requires 802.11a and
802.11g coverage.
When you specify a coverage area requiring different technologies,
3WXM creates two areas that completely overlap each other: one area
for 802.11a and another for 802.11b/g. An area requiring 802.11a and
802.11b uses a dual-radio MAP model for calculation even if you specify
a single-radio MAP.
2 To refine the dimensions of the coverage area, specify the appropriate
dimension in the X-Length and Y-Length boxes.
3 Click Next.
The wizard presents properties and association pages for the technology
you chose in step 1. The following example shows the wizard for 802.11a
and 802.11g technologies.
