18 OPTIMIZING A NETWORK PLAN

After you deploy a network plan to the 3Com equipment in your live network, you can optimize the plan based on RF information from the network. The RF information can be from a site survey or from MAP radios.

„Site survey—RF measurements come from a site survey file generated by the Ekahau Site Survey™ tool. Save the file in comma-separated values (csv) format and import the file into 3WXM.

„MAP radios—RF measurements come from the MAPs in the network.

Optimizing your network plan improves the accuracy of the model and provides more precise results when you visualize wireless coverage, locate users and rogue devices, and so on. You also can use optimization to find and fill coverage holes.

Importing RF	To import RF measurements, you need to import the measurements from
Measurements	MAP radio in the network, from a site survey file, or both. Then, update
