Chapter 7 Device Placement on the Layout Model

Device placement enables you to:

•Plan the location of Sensors and APs on the layout model

•Create ‘What‐If’ scenarios

•Generate RF views to get visibility into the security exposure and RF coverage

•Use various filters to get most relevant views

7.1Planning Device Placement

Planning Device Placement is divided into:

•RF View Area

•Status and Control Pane

7.1.1RF View Area

The RF View Area helps plan device placement for better network and coverage for the layout. Planner allows you to view the RF View Area in the ‘Full Screen’ mode. To do so, click Ctrl+F11. In the Full screen mode, the Toolbar, Status and Control Pane, and the Locations tree are rendered invisible, thus allowing you to use the complete screen to view the RF maps. Use the same command to return to the normal mode again.
