Locating a Coverage
Hole
1 Access the Optimize RF Coverage page of the Building wizard, if not
already open. (See “Accessing the Building Wizard” on page 95.)
2 In the Show RF coverage using listbox, select how you want to display the
coverage:
 Baseline Association Rate—Coverage is shown based on the MAP
radio baseline association rate. The baseline association rate is the
typical data rate the radio is expected to support for client
associations. (The baseline association rate is specified during
planning, on a coverage area basis.)
 Data Rate—Coverage is shown in colored bands that represent each
of the data transmit rates supported by the radio. These rates are
standard for each radio type.
 RSSI—Coverage is shown based on the received signal strength
indication (RSSI) of the radio’s signal heard by other radios.
3 In the Coverage Areas section, select the scope for which you want to
display coverage. You can display coverage for an individual radio, a
specific coverage area, or all coverage areas on the floor.
 To select multiple contiguous objects, click Shift while selecting.
 To select multiple noncontiguous objects, click Ctrl while selecting.
4 On the toolbar, click the radio type for which you want to display
coverage:
Displays 802.11a coverage for the
selected scope(s).
Displays 802.11b coverage for the
selected scope(s).
Displays 802.11g coverage for the
selected scope(s).
