Optimize

Click Optimize to launchthe opti mizing algorithm.The AM symbols move on the page as RF Plan finds the
optimum location for each.
The process may take severalminutes. You may watch the progress on the status bar of your browser. The algorithm
stops when the movement is less than a thresholdvalue calculated based on the number of AMs. The thresholdvalue
may be seen in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window.

Fix All Suggested AP/A Ms

Fix existing AP/AM locations at the building level. If AP/AM locations are fixed, AP/AMs will not move from their
fixed locations duringiniti alization or optimization. Clicking on this button willfix the locations of existing AP s
and AMs. You only need to click this button on eit herthe A P or AM Plan page.
Exporting a nd Importing Files
Both the Campus List page and the BuildingList page haveExport and Import buttons, which allow you to export
and import files that define the parametersof your campus and buildings. You can export a file so that it may be
imported into and usedt o automatically configurea controller. On a controller,you can import a file that has been
exportedfrom another controller or from the standalone version of RF Plan that runsas a Windows application.
NOTE:The WebUIversion of RF Plan only supports JPEG file formatsfor background images.
The filest hat you exportand import are XML files and, depending on how many buildingsare in your campus, floors
are in your buildings,and how many background images you have for your floors, the XML files may be quite large.
