Appendix A: Planning Sensors

In addition to Planner, 3Com Corporation also has a complementary product called 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise. 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise monitors and protects the corporate network that includes both wired and wireless devices. 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise consists of two main components—3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise Server and 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise Sensors (Sensors). The 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise Server acts as a database and the coordination center for various Sensors. Sensors are RF sniffing devices connected throughout the corporate network. 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise collects information from multiple Sensors. It has the intelligence to aggregate, correlate, and analyze information from the Sensors before presenting it on a Web browser.

In order to obtain complete monitoring and protection coverage throughout the corporate network, the entire airspace must be covered by Sensors. Planner provides the ability to plan the placement of Sensors and import the security plans into 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise.

Placement of Sensors

You can place Sensors on the Layout when you are in any of the following views:

•AP Views: Coverage View, Channel View, Link Speed View, Interference View, Redundancy View, SINR View

•Sensor Views: Coverage View, Threat View, Redundancy View

•Calibration View

Use the following steps to place a Sensor on the layout:

1Go to Device LibraryÆSensors.

2Drag a Sensor from the Sensor node and place it on the layout.

3Recalculate the coverage after you have placed the Sensor on the layout.

Note: If you have placed only Sensors on the layout, you can perform the calculations only in the Sensor views and not in the AP views. However if you have placed both APs and Sensors, then you can perform the calculations in any of the views, and view the respective device coverage in the respective view.
