Create Coverage
Areas
The RF coverage area is the geographical area in your network you define
RF coverage. As you configure the RF coverage area, consider the amount
of bandwidth required for the area, as well as the number of users. You
define the coverage area graphically on your floor plan using the
coverage area drawing tool. Almost all shapes for a coverage area are
possible. However, the following restrictions apply:
A shape where two sides intersect each other is not permitted.
A shared coverage area where there is a partial intersection is not
supported.
3WXM supports the sharing of coverage areas if one area is completely
within a larger area. For example, you might want to provide 802.11a
and 802.11b coverage in a conference room that is part of a larger
coverage area only providing 802.11a coverage. MAPs are shared only in
the overlapped area.
