b Right-click, and select Lock.
Locking and Unlocking MAP Access Points
After you compute and place the necessary MAP access points for a
coverage area, you can move them to fine-tune the wireless coverage. If
you need a MAP to be located at a fixed location on the floor, you can
lock its current location when you recompute the necessary coverage. A
dual-radio MAP model that is part of two coverage areas and is not
locked can be placed in the shared coverage area.
To lo ck a M AP
1 Select the MAP you want to lock.
2 Right-click, and select Lock. You can no longer move the MAP.
Assigning MAP
Channels
If you do not plan to use the RF Auto-Tuning feature to automatically set
the channels on the MAPs after deployment and installation, use the
Assign Channels to MAPs option to assign channels to the MAPs.
Appropriate assignment of channels across the floor minimizes
co-channel interference. The figure below shows how to minimize
co-channel interference for an 802.11b environment when using the
nonoverlapping channels 1, 6, and 11.
