To further refine location calculations on a floor, you can define the areas that are included (inclusion areas) in the calculations and those areas that are not included (exclusion areas).

For example, you might want to exclude areas such as an atrium or stairwell within a building but include a work area (such as cubicles, labs, or manufacturing floors).

The icons indicate the present status of an access point. The circular part of the icon can be split in half horizontally. The more severe of the two Cisco Radio colors determines the color of the large triangular pointer.

Note	When the icon is representing 802.11a/n and 802.11b/n, the top half displays the 802.11a/n status, and the bottom half displays the 802.11b/g/n status. When the icon is representing only 802.11b/g/n, the whole icon displays the 802.11b/g/n status. The triangle indicates the more severe color.

The below table shows the icons used in the Prime Infrastructure user interface Map displays.

These examples show the first three 45-degree increments allowed, with an additional five at 45-degree increments.

If you enable the access point floor setting and then click the blue arrow to the right of the floor settings, the Access Point Filter dialog box appears with filtering options.

Access point filtering options include the following:

• Show—Select this radio button to display the radio status or the access point status.

  Note	Because the access point icon color is based on the access point status, the icon color might vary depending on the status selected. The default on floor maps is radio status.

• Protocol—From the drop-down list, choose which radio types to display (802.11a/n, 802.11b/g/n, or both).

  Note	The displayed heatmaps correspond to the selected radio type(s).

• Display—From the drop-down list, choose what identifying information is displayed for the access points on the map image.
  • Channels—Displays the Cisco Radio channel number or Unavailable (if the access point is not connected).

    Note	The available channels are defined by the country code setting and are regulated by country. See the following URL for more information:?http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​en/​US/​prod/​collateral/​wireless/​ps5679/​ps5861/​product_​data_​sheet0900aecd80537b6a_​ps430_​Products_​Data_​Sheet.html

  • TX Power Level—Displays the current Cisco Radio transmit power level (with 1 being high) or Unavailable (if the access point is not connected).

    Note

    The power levels differ depending on the type of access point. The 1000 series access points accept a value between 1 and 5, the 1230 access points accept a value between 1 and 7, and the 1240 and 1100 series access points accept a value between 1 and 8. The below table lists the transmit power level numbers and their corresponding power setting.

Note	The power levels are defined by the country code setting and are regulated by country. See the following URL for more information:?http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​en/​US/​prod/​collateral/​wireless/​ps5679/​ps5861/​product_​data_​sheet0900aecd80537b6a_​ps430_​Products_​Data_​Sheet.html

• Channel and Tx Power—Displays both the channel and transmit power level (or Unavailable if the access point is not connected).
• Coverage Holes—Displays a percentage of clients whose signal has become weaker until the client lost its connection, Unavailable for unconnected access points, or MonitorOnly for access points in monitor-only mode.

  Note

  Coverage holes are areas in which clients cannot receive a signal from the wireless network. When you deploy a wireless network, you must consider the cost of the initial network deployment and the percentage of coverage hole areas. A reasonable coverage hole criterion for launch is between 2 and 10 percent. This means that between two and ten test locations out of 100 random test locations might receive marginal service. After launch, Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution Radio Resource Management (RRM) identifies these coverage hole areas and reports them to the IT manager, who can fill holes based on user demand.

• MAC Addresses—Displays the MAC address of the access point, whether or not the access point is associated to a controller.
• Names—Displays the access point name. This is the default value.
• Controller IP—Displays the IP address of the controller to which the access point is associated or Not Associated for disassociated access points.
• Utilization—Displays the percentage of bandwidth used by the associated client devices (including receiving, transmitting, and channel utilization). Displays Unavailable for disassociated access points and MonitorOnly for access points in monitor-only mode.
• Profiles—Displays the load, noise, interference, and coverage components of the corresponding operator-defined thresholds. Displays Okay for thresholds not exceeded, Issue for exceeded thresholds, or Unavailable for unconnected access points.

  Note	Use the Profile Type drop-down list to choose Load, Noise, Interference, or Coverage.

• CleanAir Status—Displays the CleanAir status of the access point and whether or not CleanAir is enabled on the access point.
• Average Air Quality—Displays the average air quality on this access point. The details include the band and the average air quality.
• Minimum Air Quality—Displays the minimum air quality on this access point. The details include the band and the minimum air quality.
• Average and Minimum Air Quality—Displays the average and minimum air quality on this access point. The details include the band, average air quality, and minimum air quality.
• Associated Clients—Displays the number of associated clients, Unavailable for unconnected access points or MonitorOnly for access points in monitor-only mode.

  Note

• Bridge Group Names

• RSSI Cutoff—From the drop-down list, choose the RSSI cutoff level. The RSSI cutoff ranges from -60 dBm to -90 dBm.
• Show Detected Interferers—Select the check box to display all interferers detected by the access point.
• Max. Interferers/label—Choose the maximum number of interferers to be displayed per label from the drop-down list.

Click OK when all applicable filtering criteria are selected.

An RF heatmap is a graphical representation of RF wireless data where the values taken by variables are represented in maps as colors. The current heatmap is computed based on the RSSI prediction model, Antenna Orientation, and AP transmit power.

If you enable the Access Point Heatmap floor setting and click the blue arrow to the right of the Floor Settings, the Contributing APs dialog appears with heatmap filtering options. See the Understanding RF Heatmap Calculation for more information.

The Prime Infrastructure introduces dynamic heatmaps. When dynamic heatmaps are enabled, the Prime Infrastructure recomputes the heatmaps to represent changed RSSI values. To configure the dynamic heatmaps, see the Editing Map Properties for more information.

Access point heatmap filtering options include the following:

• Heatmap Type—Select Coverage, or Air Quality. If you choose Air Quality, you can further filter the heat map type for access points with average air quality or minimum air quality. Select the appropriate radio button.

  Note	If you have monitor mode access points on the floor plan, you have a choice between IDS or coverage heatmap types. A coverage heatmap excludes monitor mode access points.

  Note	Only APs in Local, FlexConnect, or Bridge mode can contribute to the Coverage and Air Quality Heatmap.

• Total APs—Displays the number of access points positioned on the map.
• Select the access point check box(es) to determine which heatmaps are displayed on the image map.

Click OK when all applicable filtering criteria are selected.

Note	The AP Mesh Info check box only appears when bridging access points are added to the floor.

When this check box is selected, the Prime Infrastructure initiates a contact with the controllers and displays information about bridging access points. The following information is displayed:

• Link between the child and the parent access point.
• An arrow that indicates the direction from the child to parent access point.
• A color-coded link that indicates the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A green link represents a high SNR (above 25 dB), an amber link represents an acceptable SNR (20-25 dB), and a red link represents a very low SNR (below 20 dB).

If you enable the AP Mesh Info floor setting and click the blue arrow to the right of the floor settings, the Mesh Parent-Child Hierarchical View page appears with mesh filtering options.

You can update the map view by choosing the access points you want to see on the map. From the Quick Selections drop-down list, choose to select only root access point, various hops between the first and the fourth, or select all access points.

Note	For a child access point to be visible, its parent must also be selected.
