Correcting an AP's Floor Location After a Survey
If a survey is completed but an access point (AP) is detected on the incorrect floor, you can easily correct its location with a few simple steps.
Steps to Move an AP to the Correct Floor:
- Select the AP to be moved.
- You can do this from the current floor view or any other view where the AP is visible.
- (Optional) Switch to the desired floor.
- While not required, selecting the correct floor first can make placement easier.
- Move the AP to the correct location.
- Once selected, adjust the AP’s placement as needed to ensure accurate positioning.
This process ensures that your survey data remains accurate and aligned with the actual network layout.
Understanding AP Indicators and Floor Positioning
When an AP is selected, a detailed information panel will appear, displaying:
- The AP’s location
- Its position relative to the selected floor
- Additional options for modification
Identifying AP Placement Across Floors
If the AP is located on a different floor than the one selected, the standard green dot will be replaced by a triangle pointing up or down.
- Upward Triangle (▲): Indicates the AP was placed on a floor above the current view.
- Downward Triangle (▼): Indicates the AP was placed on a floor below the current view.
This visual cue helps determine where the software initially positioned the AP, allowing for quick verification and correction if necessary.
The area circled in green provides key information, including SSIDs, RSSI, channel, channel width, and supported bit rates.
The area circled in red indicates the floor where the AP was placed, along with its coverage on other floors within the building.
To move the AP to a different floor:
- Select the checkbox corresponding to the desired floor.
- If the floor map in the center of the screen is already set to the correct floor, the green triangle on the AP will change to a green dot, confirming that the AP is now placed correctly.
This simple process ensures accurate placement of APs across multiple floors.
