USING RF PLANNING

 

Overview

RF Planning is a technique you can use to import detailed information

 

about your site into 3WXM, add RF obstacle information and third-party

 

APs, and configure your RF coverage area at a finer level than is possible

 

using the RF Auto-Tuning with modelling technique.

 

By defining sites, buildings, and floors, you provide 3WXM with the

 

necessary information to modularly manage large networks based on

 

geographical or organizational boundaries. For example, a network plan

 

can represent a campus-wide network. 3Com recommends that you limit

 

a network plan to a single campus or Mobility Domain. A network plan is

 

also limited to one country, since a network plan only supports one

 

common country code for the WX switches contained in it.

To use the RF planning technique:

„Prepare your floor plan graphic files

„Add site information

„Add RF obstacles

„Add an RF coverage area

„Create a work order

„Install your equipment

„Deploy your configuration
