Select the desired AP’s signal strength and click <OK>. This creates a user‐defined point.

After taking readings at all points, click <Calibrate>. Planner will calculate the signal loss due to objects and other factors based on the measured signal strength.

This process completes the loop of starting with RF prediction and using the actual measured signal strength to fine tune the RF prediction.

The following options are disabled in Calibration View:

•Layout edit options like drawing, rotate, cut, copy, paste, and so on

•Spillage View

•Generate Report

7.3Planning Device Placement: Status and Control
