Start

Click Start to launch the optimizing algorithm. The AP symbols move on the page as RF Plan finds the optimum location for each.

The process may take several minutes. You can watch the progress on the status bar of your browser. The algorithm stops when the movement is less than a threshold value calculated based on the number of APs. The threshold value is also displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window.

Note: IRM scanning must be enabled for the AP and AM plans to work properly. Enable IRM in the configuration > advanced > radio > page for all the radios.

Viewing the Results

You can view the results of optimizing algorithm two ways: graphically and in a table of suggested APs. To obtain information about a specific AP, place the cursor over its symbol. An information box appears (Figure 4-17) containing information about the AP’s exact location, PHY type, channel, power, and so on.
