Plan RF Coverage

149

To calculate optimal power

1

In the Task List panel, click 

RF Planning

.

2

Under RF Planning, click 

Compute Optimal Power

. 

The Compute Power For wizard appears, showing a list of the areas you 
defined and the corresponding technology. 

3

To optimize the AP count, select 

Optimize AP Count

. This option checks 

for coverage overlaps and removes an MAP if neighboring MAPs provide 
enough coverage to make the MAP unnecessary. 

4

Select 

Compute Power

 for the areas for which you want to compute 

power.

5

Click 

Next

. The Compute Power For Progress page appears. Click 

Finish

 

to see the results.
