Computing MAP Placement 167

To resolve optimal power computation problems

If power levels for one or more coverage areas could not be optimized, show the RF coverage at baseline association and minimum transmit rates for the coverage areas by doing the following:

1In the Show RF coverage using listbox, select how you want to display the coverage:

„Baseline Association Rate — Coverage is shown based on the MAP radio baseline association rate. The baseline association rate is the typical data rate the radio is expected to support for client associations. (The baseline association rate is specified during planning, on a coverage area basis.)

„Data Rate — Coverage is shown in colored bands that represent each of the data transmit rates supported by the radio. These rates are standard for each radio type.

„RSSI — Coverage is shown based on the received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the radio’s signal heard by other radios.

2In the Coverage Areas section, select the scope for which you want to display coverage. You can display coverage for an individual radio, a specific coverage area, or all coverage areas on the floor.

„To select multiple contiguous objects, click Shift while selecting.

„To select multiple noncontiguous objects, click Ctrl while selecting.

If you need to make adjustments, do the following:

1Manually move the MAP access points, or increase the transmit power levels.

2Manually create more MAP access points, and place them on the floor.

3Modify the coverage area so that the capacity requirements are higher.

If you manually add MAP access points to a coverage area, they might be moved or removed the next time you perform Compute and Place.
