2: Import that into a wireless network Diagram such as RINGMASTER.

3: Work out the attenuation of your Fibre walls and configure this in the software.
4: Work out Zones for your access – this will include amount of users / connections , type of network usage etc.(could be in half)
5: then start placing AP’s in the zones – this will give you a graphical demonstation of the coverage.
6: You will be able to adjust power / bands (a and B,G) with interconnecting Channels. If you have to signals with the same channel then they will compete (power can be reduced to stop this).
7: Work out signal bouce and noise levels to make sure that your clients dont have connection probelms etc.
8: Once Planning completed – if the configuration is linked to the software deply if not then just manually add the amount of AP’s and config channels / power etc.

This will confirm you get the correct coverage and amount of AP’s for performance and bandwidth.
