l Voice - Provides color-coded overlay based on number of radios covering each grid cell based on the selected signal
cutoff. When this option is selected, the Signal Cutoff drop-down menu displays. From this drop-down, you can
select a common cutoff value or you can specify a custom value.
The Channel Utilization, Channel, Heatmap and Speed overlays can display information for adjacent floors to
determine how the bleed through from adjacent floors affects the viewed floor. Select all options to see all floors, or one
or more of the following options:
n Above - show the data from APs located on the floor above
n Current (default)

Floorplan Features
Show or hide the following floor plan features:
l Labels - Display or hide all labels
l Origin - Set a single origination point per floor. The origination point is used for multi-floor buildings so that
VisualRF knows how to vertically align multiple floor plans. This is especially useful in multi-floor buildings for
ensuring that multi-floor heatmaps display properly. By default, the origin appears in the upper left corner of the floor
plan. Click and drag the origin to the correct position.
l Regions - Display or hide defined regions
l Walls - Display or hide all walls
l Surveys - Display or hide Client Surveys.
The default HTML5 UI allows network administrators to display or hide client surveys and relationship lines between the
client and AP, even though client surveys can only be configured using the legacy Flash-based VisualRF UI. For more
information on client surveys, see "Adding Client Surveys" on page 357.

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.
