1. You can customize the obstacle type. For the detailed procedure, see Preconfiguring Obstacle.
2. The customized obstacle applies only to indoor distribution scenarios.
 Select an obstacle figure, such as rectangle or polyline, from the toolbar.

 Draw obstacles based on the actual environment.
 Absorption: The obstacle automatically aligns with the border lines. Click Shortcut toolbar on the toolbar to
enable and disable the absorption function.
 Alignment prompt: When border lines of two obstacles are on the same horizontal line or vertical line, the tool
automatically displays a light green line.
 Distance measurement: click Shortcut toolbar on the toolbar. The tool measures the polyline or straight-line
distance between two points in the drawing.
 Hold Shift and move the mouse to draw vertical, horizontal, or 45-degree diagonal lines.
The following figure shows obstacle settings in the drawing.

2. Configure the coverage area.

 On the home page, click the Environment Setting tab. The Environment Setting page is displayed.
 Select a coverage area type from the toolbar.
 Select a coverage area figure, such as rectangle or polygon, from the toolbar.
 Draw the coverage area.
Coverage areas of the same type cannot overlap.

The following figure shows the configured coverage areas.
Common Area
Core Area
Coverage
Hole
 Right-click or double-click a created coverage area.

 Select Attribute. The Coverage dialog box is displayed. You can modify parameters in the Coverage
dialog box.
 Click Save.

3. Configure the AP deployment area.

 Select Automatic Deployment. APs are deployed only in specified AP areas.
4. Configure the interference source (optional).

 On the home page, click the Environment Setting tab. The Environment Setting page is displayed.
 Click Interference Source in the toolbar.
 Left-click in the drawing to add an interference source.
You can left-click repeatedly to add multiple interference sources to the drawing and right-click to end this operation.
 Right-click the interference source icon in the drawing.

 Select Attribute. The Interference Source dialog box is displayed. Set parameters in the
Interference Source dialog box according to the actual situation.

 Click Save.
1.4.4 Deploy APs

 On the home page of WLAN Planner, click AP Deployment. The AP Deployment page is displayed.
 Click Automatic Deployment in the toolbar. WLAN Planner automatically deploys APs.
 After adjusting the location or attributes of APs, obstacles, or coverage areas, click Channel
Calculation. AP channels are recalculated.
The following figure shows the APs that are automatically deployed in the drawing.

After APs are automatically deployed, you can manually modify the AP location, type, and installation
mode, and add or delete APs according to the site situation. The following figure shows AP deployment
after AP locations are changed and the installation mode of some APs is changed to wall mounting.
1.4.5 Simulate Signal Coverage

After AP deployment is complete, you can simulate wireless signals and access points, and prereview the
simulation effect to determine whether the WLAN design meets requirements.

 Signal simulation includes the environment wireless signals and access points simulation.
 Environment wireless signal simulation is used to simulate signal coverage of the deployed APs. In
indoor scenarios, WLAN Planner supports Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) simulation
diagram, Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) simulation diagram, physical layer
throughput diagram, and application layer throughput diagram.
 Access point simulation is used to simulate a single access point to obtain information about its
received signals, such as the signal source frequency, channel, and signal strength.
Open environment signal simulation:
On the home page of WLAN Planner, click AP Deployment. The AP Deployment page is displayed.
 Select a type of simulation diagram from the toolbar above the drawing.
 Click Open Simulation. The tool automatically exports the simulation diagram.
This signal simulation effect is as follows.
Click the color scheme button to adjust the color.

After confirming that no coverage hole exists in common coverage areas and signal strength in major
coverage areas meets the requirements, click Close Simulation and go to the next step.
Access Simulation:
 On the home page of WLAN Planner, click AP Deployment. The AP Deployment page is displayed.
 Click Access Simulation in the toolbar.
 In the Add Simulation Terminal dialog box that is displayed, set parameters of the simulated access
point.

 Deploy the simulation access points.

 Right-click each simulation access point and select View to check information about signal access of
each access point.
1.4.6 Route Cables and Configure Power Supply Mode

After AP deployment is complete, deploy switches and connect APs and switches using network cables to
provide reference for implementation engineers.
 On the home page of WLAN Planner, click Cabling&Power Supply. The Cabling&Power Supply
page is displayed.
 Deploy the switch and AC.
This experiment uses AC bypass networking; therefore, one AC6605-8 and one access switch
S5700-28C-PWR-EI (Layer 3 GE switch) are required, as shown in the following figure.

 Select a network cable type from the toolbar.
 Click and draw network cables in the drawing to connect switches and APs, as shown in the
following figure.

1.4.7 Export Network Planning Reports

WLAN Planner allows you to export detailed planning reports, AP lists, and material bills to provide
reference for implementation engineers.
1. Export the material list.

 Click Export Material Bill. The Material List dialog box is displayed.
 Select a floor and click Export. The software generates an excel file.
 Open the file to view the contents.
