7.3.8Selecting Protocols

Planner allows you to select protocols. You can try various ‘What‐If’ scenarios using combinations of protocols and WLAN devices. You can select the following:

802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a/n, or 802.11b/g/n protocols

An isolated view of the selected WLAN devices

The view changes according to the selected protocol. If you select more than one protocol, Planner shows all those protocols simultaneously. Selecting more than one protocol can sometimes lead to missing details for a specific protocol because of overlap.

Using the Filter dialog box, you can view the coverage of a device above and below the current floor. The dialog box also displays details like the name of the device, the name of the layout where the device is located, and the level.

Use the following steps to select the protocols.

1Click from the Toolbar.

2Select the desired protocol and device in the Filters dialog box.

3Click <Apply>.
