ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600  To delete a building: 1. Select the check box that corresponds to the building that you want to delete, or select the check box at the top row of the table to delete all buildings. 2. Click Delete. Specify Access Point Requirements After you have defined the buildings and floors, you need to specify the following RF requirements for each floor and each supported access point model (WNAP210v2, WNAP320, WNDAP350, and WNDAP360): • Frequency band. The radio frequency to be used (802.11b/bg/ng or 802.11a/na). • Signal quality. The signal strength that you expect for the WLAN. This setting determines the automatic channel allocation and automatic transmission power of the access points (see the explanation in the table later in this section). • Number of client per access point. The total number of clients that you expect to be supported on each access point. • Total number of clients per floor. The total number of clients that you expect to be supported on each floor. Along with the floor dimensions, these settings determine the estimated number of access points. A screen lets you visually optimize the access point locations for best coverage.  To specify the WLAN requirements for a floor, estimate the number of access points required, and view their suggested locations: 1. Select Plans > Planning. The Planning Buildings screen displays with the Local Building tab and associated screen in view. To specify the information for a remote building, click the Remote Building tab. RF Planning 45

Specify Access Point Requirements
After you have defined the buildings and floors, you need to specify the following RF
requirements for each floor and each supported access point model (WNAP210v2,
WNAP320, WNDAP350, and WNDAP360):
Frequency band
. The radio frequency to be used (802.11b/bg/ng or 802.11a/na).
Signal quality
. The signal strength that you expect for the WLAN. This setting
determines the automatic channel allocation and automatic transmission power of the
access points (see the explanation in the table later in this section).
Number of client per access point
. The total number of clients that you expect to be
supported on each access point.
Total number of clients per floor
. The total number of clients that you expect to be
supported on each floor.
Along with the floor dimensions, these settings determine the estimated number of access
points. A screen lets you visually optimize the access point locations for best coverage.
To specify the WLAN requirements for a floor, estimate the number of access points
required, and view their suggested locations:
1.
Select
Plans > Planning
. The Planning Buildings screen displays with the Local
Building tab and associated screen in view. To specify the information for a remote
building, click the
Remote Building
tab.
