• Design Model. Use these radio buttons to specify a design model to use in the placement of
AMs.
• Monitor Rate. Use this pull-down menu to specify the desired monitor rate for the AMs.
• AMs. Use this field to manually specify the number of AMs to deploy (Custom Model only).
Design Model
Two radio buttons on the page allow you to specify the model used to determine the number and
type of AMs.
• 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.
The 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.
Monitor Rates
Use the drop-down menus to select the desired monitor rates for 802.11b/g and 802.11a AMs.
Planning Floors Page
The Planning Floors page (Figure 4-7) enables you to see the footprint of your floors.
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.
Note: This option is available only when the Coverage design model is selected.
