Use the icon to regenerate your network structure.
Floor Plans
You can create a detailed floor plan map from the Structure Configuration window. To map your floor
plan, select the Floor level in the Structure Configuration tree to open the floor configuration panel. You
can upload an image of your floor plan and set the boundaries and scale. You can drag and drop
devices to your floor plan to add them to your map.
Triangulation Considerations
To use triangulation, you must load AirDefense appliance with a two-dimensional map of the floor your
sensors are located on. Maps must be loaded at the floor level. You cannot use triangulation over
multiple floors which means you cannot use sensors on dierent floors if you want to use triangulation.
Policy Considerations
When you are creating network levels, you should create profiles for similar devices that you expect to
share common policies. Although you can certainly apply policies at the device level, it is a good
practice to apply them at higher network levels, preferably at the appliance (AirDefense) level.
UI Scope Considerations
You control the scope of data you see at any time by selecting levels in the tree. If you want to view data
from one area of your WLAN separately from data about the rest of the WLAN, such as dierent
buildings/floors, you should consider how you can create network levels for that area. Then, viewing its
data discretely is as easy as clicking on that node in the tree.
View And Manage Your Network Tree
You can view your network tree from the Structure Configuration panel wherever available.
