Locating and Fixing Coverage Holes 187

Locating and Fixing After you import RF measurements and rebuild the attenuation library,

Coverage Holes you can look for coverage holes by displaying coverage. To locate coverage holes:

„Display the optimized RF coverage area to view the results of the corrected attenuation data.

„Lock down deployed MAPs in the coverage area (so that 3WXM will not move MAPs in your network plan during the compute and place process).

„Compute and place MAPs.

„Replan your network based on compute and place results.

Displaying the RF Display the RF coverage area to view the RF coverage based on the Coverage Area corrected attenuation data.

To display the RF coverage area

1Select the RF Planning option in the main 3WXM tool bar.

2Display the floor plan in the Content panel.

3In the Task List panel, click RF Planning.

4In the Show RF coverage using listbox, select how you want to display the coverage:

„Baseline Association Rate—Coverage is shown based on the MAP radio baseline association rate. The baseline association rate is the typical data rate the radio is expected to support for client associations. (The baseline association rate is specified during planning, on a coverage area basis.)

„Data Rate—Coverage is shown in colored bands that represent each of the data transmit rates supported by the radio. These rates are standard for each radio type.

„RSSI—Coverage is shown based on the received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the radio’s signal heard by other radios.

5In the Coverage Areas section of the Organizer panel, select the scope for which you want to display coverage. You can display coverage for an individual radio, a specific coverage area, or all coverage areas on the floor.
