Deployment and Design Requirements
Step7 When the chosen floor map and access point locations are presented, a grid of dots indicates the locations
where data collection for calibration is performed. Using these locations as guidelines, position a
wireless device in a known location on the floor. Click on the map to position the red crosshairs, indicate
where the device should be located, and click Save (see Figure17).
Figure17 Positioning the Crosshairs
Note Use a client device that supports both 802.11a and 802.11b/g to expedite the calibration process for both
spectrums.
Step8 Using the suggested location coordinates as a guideline, continue moving the mobile device throughout
the floor, ensuring that the red cross hair exactly correlate with the actual location of the device. Click
Save to store each location measurement.
Perform this process for each spectrum in which locationing is required until the calibration wizard
shows that the process is complete. The calibration wizard shows a complete calibration after roughly
150 points have been gathered. For every location point saved in the calibration process, more than one
data point is gathered. Information on calibration status is provided in a legend on the left-hand side of
the window. As data points are collected and areas of the map are properly calibrated, coverage is
indicated by colored areas that correspond with the specific wireless LAN standard used to collect that
data.The progress of the calibration process is indicated by two status bars above the legend, one for
802.11b/g and one for 802.11a progress.
Step9 When the calibration has been completed for each spectrum in which locationing is required, click on
the name of the calibration model at the top of the window to return to the main screen for that model.
