This explains how you can define your buildings and floors, and make modifications after you have defined them. You can add a maximum of three local buildings and three remote buildings, a total of six buildings.
»To define a building:
- Select Plans > Layout. The Layout Buildings screen displays with the Local Building tab and associated screen in view. To define a remote building, click the Remote Building tab.
- The Buildings table shows the names of the previously defined buildings and their number of floors.
- To add a building, click Add. The Add Building pop-up window displays.
- Enter a name for your building in the Building Name field, and then click Add. The new building is added to the Buildings table. The name is an alphanumeric string up to 64 characters in length.
- To define the floors of the building, select the radio button that corresponds to the building, and then click Edit. The Layout Floors screen displays:
- Define the floors as explained in the following table:
Setting Description Building Building Name You can modify the previously defined building name, which is an alphanumeric string up to 64 characters in length. Floors Floor Names The floor name is an alphanumeric string up to 64 characters in length. Floor Dimensions Enter the floor length in meters in the Length field; enter the floor width in meters in Width field. The default measurements for both are 40 meters. Existing Floor Map If you have imported a floor map, a very small image of the floor map is shown. Click Preview to enlarge the map. (If you did not import a floor map, the Preview button is not displayed.) New Floor Map If you have an existing floor map, import the map into the RF planning tool by clicking Browse and navigating to the location where you have stored the map. Follow the directions of your browser to import the map.
Note: Background images need to be in JPEG format and cannot exceed
2048 x 2048 pixels in size. If you attempt to import a file with a larger pixel footprint, the
image will not scale to fit the image area in the floor display area.
Note: Images are scaled (stretched) to fit the display area. The display area aspect
ratio is determined by the floor dimensions.
Note: The internal flash memory of the wireless controller supports up to three floor
maps. If you want to define additional floors, use external USB storage(see "How do I mount an external storage device and view information on my ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600?").
Note: Because background images for your floors are embedded in the XML file that
defines your building, minimize the file size of the JPEGs that you use for your
backgrounds. You can minimize the file size by selecting maximum compression
(lowest quality) in most graphics programs. - To add another floor, click the + tab next to the Floor-1 name, or whatever name you have given the first floor, and define the floors as explained in the table above. You can add up to six floors in one building but will need external USB storage if you add more than three floor maps.
- Click Apply to save your settings.
- Click Back to return to the Layout Buildings screen.
»To edit a building:
- Select the radio button in the Edit column that corresponds to the building that you want to edit.
- Click Edit.
»To delete a building:
- Select the check box that corresponds to the building that you want to delete, or select the check box at the top row of the table to delete all buildings.
- Click Delete.
