View the Heat Map for a Deployed Floor Plan
For an RF plan, you can assign access points and antennas to a building and floor. However,
these access points and antennas are used only for the purpose of planning and are not
actual access points and antennas.
Access points display on the floor map of a deployed floor plan only if you assign them to the
building and floor. For information about assigning access point to a building and floor
, see
Assign Access Points to Buildings, Floors, and Advanced Profile Groups on page 169.
A heat map lets you view in real time, by wireless frequency band, the signal strength and
wireless coverage for a floor of a building. The heat map shows the actual signal strengths
that each access point is detecting from neighbor access points.
IMPORTANT:
For the heat map to provide realistic information, you must move
each virtual access point to the virtual location on the floor map
that matches the actual physical location of the physical access
point on the floor as closely as possible.
The heat map displays the following information:
• Signal strength and WiFi coverage, including weak coverage areas and coverage holes,
indicated by color
• Access points that are managed by the wireless controller
• For each access point, the following real-time information:
- Status in relation to the wireless controller (for example, Connected)
- IP address
- MAC address
- For each WiFi band, the number of connected clients
- For each WiFi band, the active channel
- For each WiFi band, the transmission (output) power
• For each antenna, the following information:
To move the access points and antennas to the correct locations on the floor map and
generate a realistic heat map for a deployed floor plan:
1. Open a web browser. In the browser’s address field, type the wireless controller’s IP
address.
By default, the IP address is 192.168.0.250.
The wireless controller’s login screen displays.
2. Enter your user name and password.
