3 Unplaced APs area : As noted in Importing a Map View Floorplan Image, when
you first open the Map View, newly placed APs appear in this area. If they are
approved for use (see
Adding New Access Points to the Network ), you can drag
them into the correct location in the floorplan. Unplaced APs are available across
all of the floor plans you upload. Thus, you can toggle between maps (see
number 1) and place each AP on the appropriate map. For the various AP icon
types, see
AP Icons .
4 Access Points, Rogue APs, and Clients box : This lower left corner box displays
the number of active APs, any rogue (unapproved or illegitimate) APs, and all
associated clients.
5 Search text box : Enter a string, such as part of an AP's name or MAC address,
and the map is filtered to show only the matching results. Clearing the search
value returns the map to its unfiltered view.
6 Floorplan area : The floorplan displays in this main area. You can manipulate the
size and angle of the floorplan by using the tools on this screen. Note the following
icons:
7 Signal (%) : This colored legend displays the signal strength coverage when you
selected either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz for Coverage (see #2 above). See Evaluating
and Optimizing Network Coverage for more information.
8 Upper slider : The upper slider is a zoom slider, allowing you to zoom in and out
of the floorplan. This is helpful in exact AP marker placement, and in assessing
whether physical obstructions that affect RF coverage are in place.
9 Lower slider : The bottom slider is the image contrast slider, allowing you to dim
or enhance the presence of the floorplan. If you have trouble seeing the floorplan,
move the slider until you achieve a satisfactory balance between markers and
floorplan details.
10 Scale legend : To properly assess the distances in a floorplan, a scaler has been
provided so that you can place APs in the most precise location.
Click this icon, and then click an AP from the floorplan to remove
that AP.
Click this icon to rotate the floorplan. When clicked, rotation
crosshairs appear in the center of the map; click and hold these
crosshairs and move your cursor to rotate the view.
Refresh the floorplan.
