Printer Min/Max
(sec)
120/480 This timer determines how often to calculate the location of printers.
Taken with the data samples the calculation acts as follows:
l After the minimum timer (default is 120 seconds), check to see if the
number of data samples received from all APs that hear this client are
greater than or equal to the number of samples setting for legacy
laptop devices (default of 3 data samples).
l If so (Yes to question above), then recalculate the client device's
location based on the samples received.
l If not (No to the question above), then wait until the number of sample
setting is met before recalculating. If the number of samples is never
met, wait until the maximum timer (default is 480 seconds) and then
recalculate.

Default Number of
Samples
3 This quantity indicates how many samples are taken to calculate the

Wall Attenuation Settings
Signal attenuation is the loss of signal strength during transmission. You can indicate the causes of attenuation
using attenuation settings on the VisualRF > Setup page.
VisualRF uses these values to calculate path loss and client locations. Walls within VisualRF are interpreted as pure dB
loss without adjusting for wall thickness.
VisualRF provides default attenuation settings for individual floor plans that you cannot change.
