•Click OK to have the Cisco WCS User Interface add the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points to the map and display the Position Access Points map similar to the following:
Note that the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point icons appear in the upper left area of the map.
•
•Highlight each Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point icon in turn, and select the Antenna Angle.
Note: The Antenna Angle is relative to the Map “X” axis. Because the origin of the “X” and “Y” axes is at the upper left hand corner of the Map, 0 degrees points Side A of the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point to the right, 90 degrees points Side A down, 180 degrees points Side A to the left, and so on.
Note: In the following example, AP1 and AP3 are set to 90 degrees, and AP2 is set to 0 degrees, so the three Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points provide maximum coverage for the inside of the building and not the loading dock.
Also note that the first display is only an approximation of the actual RF signal inten- sity, because it does not take into account the attenuation of various building materials, such as drywall or metal objects, nor does it display the effects of RF signals bouncing off obstructions.
