Note: The system uses the first set of parameters when the Planner file is imported; the second set for blank, gif, or
jpeg files.
Minimum and Maximum Signal Decay Constants specify the range for the decay exponent, that is, the exponent at
which signal decays with distance. Signal Decay Slope (Beta) and Signal Decay Inflection (Alpha) control how the
decay exponent changes from its minimum value to maximum value.
For Nodes with imported SpectraGuard Planner file:
Minimum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.0 dBm)
Maximum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.0 dBm)
Signal Decay Slope (Beta): (Default: 0.08 dBm)
Signal Decay Inflection (Alpha): (Default: -4 dBm)
For Nodes with GIF, JPEG or Blank layout:
Minimum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.0 dBm)
Maximum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.5 dBm)
Signal Decay Slope (Beta): (Default: 0.08 dBm)
Signal Decay Inflection (Alpha): (Default: -4 dBm)
Note: Planner models most significant objects; therefore Maximum Signal Decay Constant should be close to 2.0.

Encoding
Select the language encoding (language setting) to be used to correctly display page encoded language text from the
drop down list on the Encoding screen. Default is UTF-8. Parameters like SSID, when configured on the AP using
page encoding (either non-english native window or using a language pack) will appear garbled when the page
encoding does not match the encoding selected here.
Note: For the language encoding to be effective, it is mandatory to select Multilingual in the Language
