Appendix B: Integration of 3Com ® AirProtect Planner and 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise

3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise monitors and protects the corporate network that includes both wired and wireless devices on a

24x7 basis. Two key features of 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise are:

•Live RF Views: Enables you to take live RSSI readings from the Sensors to show live RF coverage maps for any layout.

•Location tracking on a layout: Enables you to track the location of any device on a layout.

To enhance accuracy of these features in 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise, you can optionally export a layout created in Planner.

Exporting the Project from Planner

The Export Project feature enables you to package the current project into a .zip file. You might want to export a project for the following reasons:

•To import the project into 3Com ® AirProtect Enterprise

•To import the project into some other system where Planner is running

While exporting the project you have an option to export the preferences of your system as well. When you open the exported project in another system with Planner installed, this option helps you to override the preferences in the other system to get the same environment that you used while planning the project.

While exporting, the following files: .spm, images, and preferences (if selected) are packaged into a single file.

Use the following steps to export the project:

1Go to the Layout Designer screen of Planner.

2Go to FileÆExport Project.

Note: You can only export the current layout. You cannot export the layout from the AP Spillage, Sensor Spillage, and Calibration Views in the Network Planner.
