4.
To refresh the NXA-WAPZD1000 Map View, run a full-system RF Scan.
5.
When the RF scan is complete and the NXA-WAPZD1000 has recalibrated the Map View, you can assess
your changes, and make further adjustments as needed.
Evaluating and Optimizing Network Coverage
If there are gaps or dead spots in your worksite WLAN coverage, you can use the NXA-WAPZD1000 to assess
network RF coverage and then reposition APs to enhance coverage.
To assess network RF coverage:
1.
Go to Monitor > Map View.
2.
If Map View displays a floorplan with active device symbols, you can assess the performance of
individual APs, in terms of coverage.
3.
For the Coverage option, click 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
4.
When the “heat map” appears, look for a Signal% scale in the upper right corner of the map. Note the
color range, especially colors that indicate low coverage.
5.
Look at the floorplan and evaluate the current coverage.
Moving the APs into More Efficient Positions
To move the APs into more efficient positions:
1.
From Monitor > Map View, click and drag individual AP markers on the Map View floorplan until your
RF coverage coloration is optimized. (You may need to acquire additional APs to fill in large coverage
gaps.)
2.
To turn off the heat map and restore the floorplan to view, click None in the Coverage options.
3.
Note the new physical locations of relocated AP markers.
4.
After physically relocating the actual APs in accordance with Map View repositioning, disconnect and
reconnect each AP to a power source.
When the NXA-WAPZD1000 has recalibrated the Map View after each AP restart, you can assess your
changes, and make further adjustments as needed.
