In ordert o enablehigh-throughput on a new AP being added to the plan at the floorlevel, 802.11n (HT) support
must first be enabledat the building level within the AP modeling parameters. If not, this option will be grayed
out. See "AP Modeling Parameters Page" on page 799 for details about AP modelingparameters.
lUse 40 MHz Channel (2.4 or 5 GHz): Specify if 80 2.11n high-throughputsupport should utilize a 40 MHz
channel(bonded channel pair).
In ordert o select a valid 40 MHz channelfor a new AP being added at the floor level, use of 40 MHz channel
spacing must first be enabledat the building level within the AP modeling parameters. If not, this option will be

If high-throughputis enabled and use of a 40 MHz channelpair i s not enabled, a 20 Mhz channel will be utilized.

Initialize
Initialize the Algorithm by clicking the Initialize button. This makes an initial placement of the APs and prepares
RF Plan for the task of determiningthe optimum location for each of the APs. A s soon as you click Initialize you
see the AP symbols appear on the floorplan.
Coloredc irclesaround the AP symbols on the floor plan indicate the approximate coverage of the individual AP and
the color of the circlerepresents the channel on which the AP is operating. The circles appear whenyo uselect an
approximatecoverage valueon o ne of the Floors pages. You may also click an AP icon and drag it to manually
reposition it.
Optimize
Click Optimize to launchthe opti mizing algorithm.The AP symbols move on the page as RF Plan finds the
optimum location for each.
