The RF coverage area is the geographical area in your network you define 
for RF coverage. As you configure the RF coverage area, consider the 
amount of bandwidth required for the area, as well as the number of 
users. You define the coverage area graphically on your floor plan using 
the coverage area drawing tool. Almost all shapes for a coverage area are 
possible. However, the following restrictions apply:

„

A shape where two sides intersect each other is not permitted.

„

A shared coverage area where there is a partial intersection is not 
supported.

3WXM supports the sharing of coverage areas if one area is completely 
within a larger area. For example, you might want to provide 802.11a 
and 802.11b coverage in a conference room that is part of a larger 
coverage area only providing 802.11a coverage. MAP access points are 
shared only in the overlapped area.

To create a coverage area:

1 In the Building wizard, click the RF Coverage tab.

2 Under Insert Area, select a shape. Click on the floor plan and draw the 

shape over the coverage area.

The Coverage Area Choices wizard is displayed.

3 Select your technology choice. Click Next.
