DellPowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS 6.2 | User Guide

Controls on this page allow you to select the following functions, which are described in more detail in this section:

Radio Button

Description

Design Model

Use these radio buttons to specify a design model to use in the placement of AMs. See

"Design

Models" on page 804

Monitor Rates

Use this drop-down menu to specify the desired monitor rate for the AMs. See

"Monitor Rates" on

page 804

AMs

Use this field to manually specify the number of AMs to deploy (Custom Model only).

Table 376:

AM Modeling Radio Buttons

Design Models

Two radio buttons on the page allow you to specify the model used to determine the number and type of APs.

Radio Button

Description

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.

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.

Table 377:

Design Model Radio Buttons

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.

Monitor Rates

Use the drop down menus to select the desired monitor rates for the 2.4 Ghz (802.11b/g) and 5 GHz (802.11a)

frequency bands. The available monitor rates that display in drop-down lists will vary: these rates are dependent on

the radio type selected on AP modeling page and they will also be adjusted to accommodate for 20 MHz vs. 40 MHz

channel spacing when 802.11n (HT) support is enabled.

NOTE: This option is available only when the coverage design model is selected.
