WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual When width and length are specified, RF Plan creates a rectangular area in the Planning feature pages that represent the overall area covered by the building. You need to import an appropriate background image ("Floor Editor Dialog Box" on page 4-12) to aid you in defining areas that don't require coverage or areas in which you do not wish to deploy APs and AMs ("Area Editor Dialog Box" on page 4-13). • Inter-Floor Height. This is the distance between floor surfaces in the building. Note: The inter-floor height is not the distance from floor to ceiling. Some buildings have a large space between the interior ceilings and the floor above. The valid range for this field is any integer from 1 to a value corresponding to 1x1012. • Floors. Enter the number of floors in your building. The valid range for this field is any integer from 1 to a value corresponding to 1x1012. • Unit. Specify the unit of measurement for the dimensions you specified on the page. The choices are feet and meters. AP Modeling Parameters Page The AP Modeling Parameters page (Figure 4-5) allows you to specify the information necessary for RF Plan to determine the appropriate placement of your APs. Figure 4-5 Controls on this page allow you to select or control the following functions, which are described in further detail in this section: • Radio Type. Use this pull-down menu to specify the radio type. • AP Type. Use this drop-down box to select the AP model. • Overlap Factor. Use this field and pull-down to specify an AP coverage overlap factor.
