Defining Wireless Coverage Areas 115

If you are using a complex concave polygon as a coverage area, computation of MAP access points might take longer than the computation for an area with a less complicated shape.

When drawing a coverage area, make sure it extends just short of external walls. If the coverage area includes external walls, 3WXM accounts for the external walls when computing how many MAP access points are required for the coverage area. This might lead to an inaccurate MAP count.

1Display the floor plan in the Content panel.

(polygon)	2	Repeat until the polygon takes the shape you want.
		For a polygon with n sides, click n-1additional times
		at the vertices. For example, to draw a 7-sided
		polygon, click at 6 vertices.
	3	At the last vertex before completing the shape,
		Right-click to complete the polygon.
