17To change the MAP connection type for the redundant connection, select Direct or Distributed from the MAP Connection Type list.

18To change the number of redundant connections for the distributed connection type, type the number in the Redundancy Level box.

19For direct connections, the redundancy level is always 1.

20Click Next. The Capacity Planning for Data page appears.

21To calculate MAP placement and configuration based on both coverage and on capacity, enable Use Capacity Calculation for Data. Otherwise, click Next and go to step 25.

By default, 3WXM performs only the coverage calculation. If you enable the Use Capacity Calculation for Data option, 3WXM performs both calculations.

22In the Per Station Throughput list, specify the throughput (combined transmit and receive) in kilobits per second (Kbps) for a station.

23In the Expected Station Count list, specify the number of clients you expect to be in the coverage area.
