Adjusting the Floorplan Display

A floorplan can display the location of your infrastructure devices, their estimated radio range, and the associated mobile devices. The predicted radio range is an estimation that does not take physical obstructions into account. It is based on the radio type and power level reported by the device.

When associated mobile devices are displayed, they appear near the infrastructure device with which they are associated. The placement of the mobile device icon is not intended to be an accurate location of the mobile device; rather, the distance between the infrastructure icon and the mobile device icon demonstrate the possible range of the mobile device based on known signal strength and signal power statistics received from the devices.

The options for adjusting the floorplan display include:

Infrastructure Devices	Displays plotted infrastructure devices on the floorplan.
Predicted Coverage	Displays the predicted coverage of infrastructure devices as a heatmap.
Mobile Devices — Show managed	Displays mobile devices being managed by Avalanche.
Mobile Devices — Show unmanaged	Displays mobile devices not being managed by Avalanche.
Limit to Plotted Infrastructure Devices selected below	Displays only those devices that have the check box next to their name in the Plotted Infrastructure panel enabled.

Note: If the current power level for a device is reported as 0, you will not be able to view predicted coverage for that device. The reported power level may be 0 if the device is disabled.

The following models do not reliably report the current power level: Proxim 2000, 4000, 4900, 600, 700, Dell TrueMobile 1170, HP ProCurve 520wl, Avaya AP-3, AP-4, AP-5, AP-6 and AP-8, SYSTIMAX AirSPEED AP 541 and AP 542.

If the desired channel on a Symbol/Motorola WS 2000 is set to 0, the power level will be reported as 0. The desired channel can be changed from the Infrastructure Site Console.

To adjust the floorplan display:

From the Floorplans page, select the floorplan you want to edit from the drop-down list in the Selected Floor Plan panel.

Enable the options to the left in the Selected Floor Plan panel.

The floorplan will display as configured.
