In order to enable high-throughput on a new AP being added to the plan at the floor level, 802.11n (HT) support
must first be enabled at the building level within the AP modeling parameters. If not, this option will be grayed
out. See "AP Modeling Parameters Page" on page 799 for details about AP modeling parameters.
l Use 40 MHz Channel (2.4 or 5 GHz): Specify if 802.11n high-throughput support should utilize a 40 MHz
channel (bonded channel pair).
In order to select a valid 40 MHz channel for a new AP being added at the floor level, use of 40 MHz channel
spacing must first be enabled at the building level within the AP modeling parameters. If not, this option will be
grayed out. See "AP Modeling Parameters Page" on page 799 for details about AP modeling parameters.
If high-throughput is enabled and use of a 40 MHz channel pair is not enabled, a 20 Mhz channel will be utilized.
Memo
The Memo text field allows you to enter notes regarding the AP. You can enter a maximum of 256 alphanumeric
characters in the Memo field.
AP Plan Page
The AP Plan page uses the information entered in the modeling pages to locate APs in the building(s) you
described. All of the options on the Floors page can also be viewed and configured on the AP Plan page. The AP
Plan page also includes some additional options, such as initializing, optimizing, and fixing AP/AM locations.
Figure 386: AP Planning
Initialize
Initialize the Algorithm by clicking the Initialize button. This makes an initial placement of the APs and prepares
RF Plan for the task of determining the optimum location for each of the APs. As soon as you click Initialize you
see the AP symbols appear on the floor plan.
Colored circles around the AP symbols on the floor plan indicate the approximate coverage of the individual AP and
the color of the circle represents the channel on which the AP is operating. The circles appear when you select an
approximate coverage
value on one of the Floors pages. You may also click an AP icon and drag it to manually
reposition it.
Optimize
Click Optimize to launch the optimizing algorithm. The AP symbols move on the page as RF Plan finds the
optimum location for each.
