The Zoom control sets the viewing size of the floor image. It is adjustable in finite views from 10% to 1000%. You
may select a value from the drop-down zoom menu or specify a value in the text box to the left of the drop-down.
When you specify a value, RF Plan adjusts the values in the drop-down to display a set of values both above and
below the value you typed in the text box.
Approximate Coverage Map
Select a radio type from the Coverage drop-down menu to view the approximate coverage area for each of the APs
that RF Plan has deployed in AP Plan or AM Plan. Adjusting the coverage values help you to understand how the
