WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual Figure 4-17 The Suggested Access Points and Air Monitors table (Figure 4-18) lists the coordinates, power, location, power setting, and channel for each of the APs shown in the floor plan. Figure 4-18 AM Planning Page The AM Planning page calculates the optimum placement for the air monitors. Initialize Initialize the algorithm by clicking Initialize. This makes an initial placement of the AMs and prepares RF Plan for the task of determining the optimum location for each of the AMs. When you click Initialize, the AM symbols appear on the floor plan. Start Click Start to launch the optimizing algorithm. The AM symbols move on the page as RF Plan finds the optimum location for each. The process may take several minutes. Progress is displayed on the status bar of your browser. The algorithm stops when the movement is less than a threshold value calculated based on the number of AMs. The threshold value is also displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window. Viewing the Results Viewing the results of the AM Planning feature is similar to that for the AP Planning feature.You can view the results of the optimizing algorithm two ways: graphically and in a table of suggested RF Plan v1.0, June 2007 4-19
