Defining Wireless Coverage Areas 129

8Under the Constraints tab, you can do the following:

„To change the ceiling height, specify the new height in the Height of the Ceiling box.

„To change the height where MAPs are mounted, specify the new mounting height in the AP Placement Height box.

„To change the WX switch model, select the model from the WX Model list.

„To change the default MAP model, select the model from the Default AP Model list.

„To change the MAP connection type, select the type from the AP Connection Type list:

„Direct—MAPs are directly attached to dedicated WX switch ports.

„Distributed—MAPs can be indirectly attached through intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 devices.

„Distributed (Auto)—MAPs can be indirectly attached through intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 devices. They receive their configuration automatically using a profile that assigns a Distributed MAP number and name to the MAP from among the unused valid MAP numbers available on the switch. The profile also configures the MAP with the MAP and radio parameter settings in the profile.

„To allow locked MAP access points to be deleted when the Compute and Place function determines that they are no longer required, select Allow Deletion of Locked MAPs.

A locked MAP is a MAP that is already associated with the coverage area. For example, if you computed and placed MAPs in this coverage area on a previous occasion and you are now optimizing the plan, the MAPs are still associated with the coverage area.

„To change the amount of power to reserve when calculating optimal power, type or select the number of dBm in the Reserved Tx Power Margin listbox. This is the number of dBm below the maximum power setting that you want 3WXM to reserve in case the power needs to be increased later.

9Under the Redundancy tab, you can do the following:

„To plan for redundant MAP connections to WX switches, select Compute Redundancy.
