: A network plan is the workspace in 3WXM you 

use to design a wireless network.

: You can better manage and visualize your network 

topology by creating a detailed and accurate network plan.

You can start by creating a device-oriented (WX switches and MAPs) view 
of your network without any geographic information about your site—no 
floor dimensions, building material information, or RF obstacle 
information. You can go a step further and provide some geographic 
information by adding floor dimensions, your RF coverage area, and 
some attenuation information, such as elevator shafts or internal 
concrete walls. If you want to enjoy the full benefits of network 
monitoring and visualization, you can create a detailed network plan. This 
is done by importing detailed building and floor plans into 3WXM, 
defining RF obstacles, and defining the quality of coverage (traffic 
engineering parameters) you want for specific RF coverage areas. 

: An RF coverage area is the geographical area 

in which IEEE 802.11 radios provide wireless services.

: To describe the three techniques you can use for 

RF coverage.

: By understanding available RF coverage planning 

techniques, you can use the technique that meets your organization’s 
requirements.

There are three techniques you can use to get your wireless network 
started:

„

RF Auto-Tuning lets you use the default auto tuning feature to select 
power and channel settings for RF signals in your RF coverage area. 
You upload the WX switches into 3WXM, configure the MAPs, enable 
RF Auto-Tuning, and deploy.
