Generating Output from Planner

Chapter 9 Generating Output from Planner

Planner generates a comprehensive report giving the architect’s drawings, BoM for WLAN devices, information about APs’ and Sensors’ configuration, original layouts, and all the security exposure and network coverage RF views generated during planning. It also replays customer input as a ready reference. The report is configurable where by you can select any of the above for inclusion in the report. For example, you may want to restrict the report to only BoM or security analysis (leaving out network details). The report is generated in MS WORD. The compliance report is generated in the XML format.

Contents of the generated reports are:

•BoM (Bill of Material): Contains a tabulated list of APs and Sensors placed on the layout along with the location on the floor map. This report is useful to understand the equipment requirement and placement.

•Introduction Report: Explains the entire process from the customer input to the 3Com Corporation output. It also describes the Planning Methodology and Objectives, the general assumptions made for modeling a WLAN, and the observations that you can make based on the RF plan.

•Compliance Report: Contains the configuration details of APs and Sensors placed on the layout. You can import this report into a WLAN Controller, so that you do not have to reconfigure the controllers for APs and Sensors. There is no specific industry format for this kind of report and hence 3Com Corporation has decided this format.

•Layout Report: Contains details of the Work Order, WLAN Coverage Map, Security Exposure Map, AP Coverage Redundancy Map, Link Speed Map, Channel Allocation Map, Sensor Coverage Map, Sensor External Map, and Sensor Redundancy Map.

Note: You cannot generate any report without completing the calculations for all the RF views.
