When you click Initialize , the AM symbols appear on the floor plan. The algorithm stops when the movement is less than a threshold value calculated based on the number of AMs. The results of optimizing algorithm may be viewed two ways: graphically and in a table of suggested AMs. You may obtain information about a specific AM by placing the cursor over its symbol. An information box appears that contains information about the exact location, PHY type, high-throughout-support, channel, power, and so on.
The Suggested Access Points and Air Monitors table lists the coordinates, power, location, power setting, and channel for each of the AMs that are shown in the floor plan. Exporting and Importing Files. Both the Campus List page and the Building List page have Export and Import buttons, which allow you to export and import files that define the parameters of your campus and buildings. You can export a file so that it may be imported into and used to automatically configure a controller. On a controller, you can import a file that has been exported from another controlleror from the standalone version of RF Plan that runs as a Windows application.
The files that you export and import are XML files and, depending on how many buildings are in your campus, floors are in your buildings, and how many background images you have for your floors, the XML files may be quite large. To export a file that defines the parameters of one or more campuses, including all of its associated buildings, select the campus es to be exported in the Campus List page and then click Export.
After you click the Export button, you are prompted to include the background images. When exporting a campus file, Arubarecommends that you click OK to export the background images. If you click Cancel , the exported file does not include the background images. The File Download window appears. From the File Download window, click Save to save the file. The Save As dialog box appears. From here, navigate to the location where you want to save the file and enter the name for the exported file.
When naming your exported file, be sure to give the file the. Exported campus files include detailed information about the campus and the selected building s. You can import only XML files exported from another controlleror from the standalone version of RF Plan that runs as a Windows application.
Importing any other file, including XML files from other applications, may result in unpredictable results. To import a file that defines the building parameters of one or more campuses, click the Import button in the Campus List page.
To export a file that defines the parameters of one or more buildings, select the building s to be exported in the Building List page and then click Export.
When exporting a building file, Arubarecommends that you click OK to export the background images. From here, navigate to the location where want to save the file and enter the name for the exported file. Exported building files include the name of the campus to which the building belongs; however, detailed campus parameters are not included. Import Buildings Page. To import a file that defines the parameters of one or more buildings, click the Import button in the Building List page.
In the Import Buildings page, click Browse to select the file to be imported, then click the Import button. To use this feature, select the building in which you want to search, and click Locate. The Target Devices table displays information on each of these devices. To add a device, click Add Device. To delete a device, click Remove Device. To select a device, click Choose Devices. FQLN Mapper. To search for deployed APs, enter information in the Search fields and click Search.
Logical name of the AP or AM. You can enter a portion of the name to widen the search. You can enter a portion of the MAC address to widen the search.
You can enter a portion of the IP address to widen the search. Fully-qualified location name of the AP, in the form APname. You can enter a portion of the FQLN to widen the search. Serial number of the AP. You can enter a portion of the serial number to widen the search.
Use the drop-down list to the right of the Number of results per page to specify the number of APs to display in the search results. After entering the search criteria, you can either click Reset to clear the entries or click Search to search for APs. If you click Search , the results are displayed in the Search Result table:. You can view the information in ascending or descending order. By default, the display is in ascending order, based on the AP name the white arrow indicates the row that is being used to sort the information.
Left-click on a column head to view the information in ascending or descending order you may need to click multiple times to get the desired display. From here you can modify the attributes that create the FQLN for the selected AP, using the following drop-down lists:. Campus—Displays the campus where the AP is deployed. To deploy the AP in a different campus, select a campus form the drop-down list. The Campus defines the buildings and floors displayed.
This drop-down list only displays the existing campuses that you are managing. Building—Displays the building where the AP is deployed. To deploy the AP in a different building, select a building from the drop-down list. This drop-down list only displays the available buildings in the selected campus.
Floor—Displays the floor where the AP is deployed. To deploy the AP on a different floor, select a floor from the drop-down list. This drop-down lists only displays the available floors in the selected building. If you provision more than one AP, the selected value for the campus, building, and floor is based on the first selected AP and applies to all APs. Only the AP name will be different as each AP must have a unique name. The list of discovered APs appears in the page.
Modify the FQLN attributes:. In the Provisioning page, scroll to the FQLN Mapper near the bottom of the page and modify the campus, building, and floor attributes. Click Apply and Reboot. Reprovisioning the AP causes it to automatically reboot.
Legacy RF Plan Example. Ensure you have sample. JPEG floor images handy for walking through this planning example. Table 21 lists the information to be used in this coverage-based legacy planning example. Create a Building.
In this section you create a building using the information supplied in the planning table. In the Campus List, select New Campus. Enter: My Campus and click OK. Click New Building. The Overview page appears. Click Save. A dialog box appears that indicates the new building was saved successfully. Click OK to close the dialog box. Click Building Dimension. The Specification page appears. Enter the following information in the text boxes. The name is automatically populated based on what you entered in step1.
A dialog box appears that asks if you want to save and reload this building now since the building name was changed. Click OK to accept. Another dialog box appears stating that the building was saved successfully. Click Apply. RF Plan returns you to the Overview page. Model the Access Points. You now determine how many APs are required to cover your building with a specified data transfer rate and overlap. In this example, you use the Coverage Model. The following are assumed about the performance of the WLAN:.
The AP Modeling Parameters page appears. Select Select Medium from the Overlap Factor drop-down menu. Select 48 from the Click Save , then OK. Model the Air Monitors.

The free version limits a few things, most notably the maximum radius to calculate coverage is 10 km which would basically limit the free use of this tool to low power stations. Also the number of calculations that can be performed per month is also limited.
Are there other options out there? Quite possibly.
