OPTIMIZING A NETWORK PLAN

After you deploy a network plan to the 3Com equipment in your live

network, you can optimize the plan based on RF information from the

network. The RF information can be from a site survey or from MAP

radios.

 Site survey—RF measurements come from a site survey file generated

by the Ekahau Site Survey™ tool. Save the file in comma-separated

values (csv) format and import the file into 3WXM.

 MAP radios—RF measurements come from the MAPs in the network.

Optimizing your network plan improves the accuracy of the model and

provides more precise results when you visualize wireless coverage, locate

users and rogue devices, and so on. You also can use optimization to find

and fill coverage holes.

Importing RF

Measurements

To import RF measurements, you need to import the measurements from

MAP radio in the network, from a site survey file, or both. Then, update

the RF obstacle data.

Importing the

Measurements

1 Access the Building wizard, if not already open.

2 Click Optimize RF Coverage at the top of the wizard. The Optimize RF

Coverage page appears.
