Looking at the RF coverage allows you to see if the entire area is 
adequately covered by the MAPs. You can move the MAPs and see how 
the coverage changes. 

1 Beside Show RF Coverage Using, select how you want to display the 

coverage:

„

Baseline Association Rate—Coverage is shown based on the MAP 
radio baseline association rate. The baseline association rate is the 
typical data rate the radio is expected to support for client 
associations. (The baseline association rate is specified during 
planning, on a coverage area basis.) 

„

Data Rate—Coverage is shown in colored bands that represent each 
of the data transmit rates supported by the radio. These rates are 
standard for each radio type. 

„

RSSI—Coverage is shown based on the received signal strength 
indication (RSSI) of the radio’s signal heard by other radios. 

2 Right-click on a coverage area and select Show RF Coverage.

3 Select the A, B, or G icon from the toolbar to view the coverage area for 

that technology.

The coverage area is displayed, color-coded by channel.
