8To configure settings for a radio, click 802.11g Radio or 802.11a Radio. a To enable the radio, select Enabled.

b If the MAP model supports external antennas, select the external antenna model from the Antenna Type box.

c To indicate the direction of the antenna’s coverage, change the value in the Directionality of antenna box. The default value of 0 degrees directs the antenna’s coverage to the right on the floor plan. For example, to move the coverage 90 degrees (so that the antenna’s area of coverage faces downward as you view the floor plan), type 90 in the box.

You can verify and change the antenna’s coverage direction after you finish using this wizard. To verify the antenna’s coverage, display the floor plan where the MAP is located. The antenna direction is indicated by an arrow.

To show the antenna’s RF coverage, select the MAP, right-click, and select Display RF Coverage and the radio type from the drop-down list.

To adjust the coverage, select the MAP, right-click, and select Edit Properties from the drop-down list to display the Modify MAP or Modify DAP wizard. In the wizard, click the tab for the radio to display its configuration page, edit the value in the Antenna Direction box, and click OK.

3WXM assumes that the external antenna will be installed so that the front faces in the direction of coverage (not up or down), and so that the antenna cable connector faces down or up. 3WXM also assumes that the antenna does not provide any coverage behind itself.

The Antenna Type and Directionality of antenna boxes appear only if the MAP model supports an external antenna.
