Relation Lines
Click the following relation line options:
l APs to view AP neighbor lines, which show the APs that hear each other.
l Client Association to view client to AP lines. The thicker lines designate AP of association, and the thinner
lines show the APs that hear the client. This overlay uses color-codes to represent the radio band.
l Client Neighbors to view lines between a client and radios that hear the client , excluding the radio of
association.
l Interferers to view lines between sources of Wi-Fi interference and the radios that have discovered them.
For interferers, there is no radio of association.
l Rogues to view rogue AP to radio lines.
l Surveys to view lines between an AP and a client heard during a client survey. The ability to define a client
survey was deprecated in W-AirWave 8.2, but surveys created in previous 7.x and 8.x releases can still be
displayed on a VisualRF floor plan.
l Tags to view lines between Wi-Fi tags and radios which hear the tags. For tags, there is no radio of
association.
Floor Plan Features
You can display floor plan features, such as Grid Lines, Labels, Origin, Regions, Walls, or Wiring Closets. If you
created a client survey in W-AirWave 8.0.x and earlier, they also display on the floor plan when you select Surveys
from the options.
To customize your grid lines, click to select Gridsize or Color.
To ensure that multi-floor heatmaps display properly, ensure that your floor plans are vertically aligned. VisualRF
uses the origination point for this alignment. By default, the origin appears in the upper left corner of the floor
plan. You can drag and drop the origin point to the correct position.
Mesh View Navigation
Mesh view provides a visual Mesh monitoring page specially for viewing Dell AirMesh devices. It automatically
renders Mesh APs based on GPS coordinates.
You can mouse over each mesh network icon to view the numbers of APs and clients, and network usage in
Mbps. Figure 174 displays an example of a Mesh Network view with a mouseover above a network icon:
