Controls on this page allow you to select the following functions, which are described in more detail in this section:
Radio Button Description
Design Model Use these radio buttons to specify a design model to use in the placement of AMs. See "Design
Models" on page 804.

AM Modeling Radio Buttons
Design Models
Two radio buttons on the page allow you to specify the model used to determine the number and type of APs.
Radio Button Description
Coverage Use this option to let RF Plan automatically determine the number of AMs based on desired
monitor rates and the configuration of the building.
Desired rate is selectable from 1 to 54 Mbps in the Coverage model.
Custom Use this option to specify a fixed number of AMs. When the AM Plan portion of RF Plan is
executed, RF Plan distributes the AMs evenly.

Design Model Radio Buttons
NOTE: The monitor rates you select for the AMs should be less than the data rates you selected for the APs. If you set the rate for the
AMs at a value equal to that specified for the corresponding PHY type AP, RF Plan allocates one AM per AP. If you specify a monitor
rate greater than the data rate, RF Plan allocates more than one AM per AP.
Monitor Rates
Use the drop down menus to select the desired monitor rates for the 2.4 Ghz (802.11b/g) and 5 GHz (802.11a)
frequency bands. The available monitor rates that display in drop-down lists will vary: these rates are dependent on
the radio type selected on AP modeling page and they will also be adjusted to accommodate for 20 MHz vs. 40 MHz
channel spacing when 802.11n (HT) support is enabled.
NOTE: This option is available only when the coverage design model is selected.
