114CHAPTER 5: PLANNING THE 3COM MOBILITY SYSTEM

The coverage areas shown in Figure 6 cannot share coverage and are not supported by 3WXM. (However, separate, nonshared coverage areas can overlap.)

Keep the following in mind when planning shared coverage areas:

„Two coverage areas using the same wireless technology cannot be shared.

„A coverage area using 802.11b and a coverage area using 802.11g cannot be shared.

„MAP access points placed in shared areas must be configured as dual-radio models.

Drawing a Coverage Area

3WXM supports concave polygons, which have an internal angle greater than 180 degrees. When drawing a polygon, make sure that two sides of the polygon do not intersect each other, as shown in Figure 7. Also make sure start and end points and the vertices are not too close.
