4/1/05 Adding APs to Floor Plan and Open Area Maps
OL-7426-02
• If you have imported a .FPE and a .PNG, .JPG, or .GIF format Coverage Area map, click Save to
store the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point locations and orientations, and have Cisco
WCS compute the second-order RF prediction (or “Heat Map”) for the Coverage Area.
Note: In the following example, AP1 is set to 0 degrees, and AP2 and AP3 are set to
90 degrees, so the three Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points provide
maximum coverage for the right wing of the building.
Note: Also note that in the following example, each Cisco 1000 Series lightweight
access point covers a much smaller area, because of the wall attenuation factored in
by the RF Prediction algorithm.
