Zone ASignal Level

This visualization shows the signal strength map (also called the coverage map) measured in dBm.
Signal strength is one of the most important factors that influence WLAN performance, as in the areas
with low signal, establishing a reliable and high-throughput link between the AP and client devices isimpossible.

TamoGraph Site Survey

Zone ASignal-to-Noise Ratio

This visualization shows the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measured in dB. SNR is a measure to quantify by
how much the signal level exceeds the noise level. Noise is generated by non-802.11 sources of radiowaves (this includes 802.11 frames damaged during propagation). In low SNR zones, client devices may
not be able to communicate with APs.

Zone A

Signal-to-Interference Ratio

This visualization shows the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) measured in dB. SIR is a measure toquantify by how much the signal level of an AP (interfered AP) exceeds the interference level. Theinterfering signal is the signal being transmitted by other APs (interfering APs) that may or may notbelong to your WLAN and that use the same or one of the adjacent 802.11 channels. In low SIR zones,
client devices may experience low throughput.

Zone AAP Coverage Areas (Cisco 802.11n - 00:23:04:89:C6:91)

This visualization shows the areas covered by the APs. An area is considered covered if the signal isstrong enough for the clients to communicate to the AP. Coverage areas are color-coded: For each AP, asmall colored square is shown next to the AP icon. The corresponding color is used to display thecoverage area contour or fill.

Zone A

Number of APs

This visualization shows how many APs cover the given area. An area is considered covered if the signal
is strong enough for the clients to communicate with the AP. In many WLANs, multiple AP coverage is
an important requirement that ensures uninterrupted connectivity, load balancing, and seamlessroaming.

10

Zone A

Expected PHY Rate

The physical layer (PHY) rate is the speed at which client devices communicate with the AP. When you
move a computer connected to the AP within the WLAN coverage area, the adapter properties dialog in
Windows displays the varying connection speed, which may be as high as 450 or 300 Mbps when you areclose to the AP or as low as 1 Mbps when you are 50 meters away from it. The displayed speed is thePHY rate.

Frame Format

This visualization shows what format of 802.11 frames is being used: Non-HT (a legacy format used by
802.11 a/b/g equipment that is not based on the latest 802.11n standard), HT-mixed (a new format
introduced in the 802.11n standard that uses a protection mechanism that allows 802.11n devices tocoexist with legacy 802.11 a/b/g devices), or HT-Greenfield (a new format introduced in the 802.11n
standard that assumes that there are no legacy 802.11 a/b/g stations around).

12TamoGraph Site Survey

Zone A

Channel BandwidthThis visualization shows what type of channel bandwidth is being used: 20 MHz Legacy (used by 802.11
a/b/g equipment that is not based on the latest 802.11n standard), 20 MHz HT (a new format introducedin the 802.11n standard that occupies the same 20 MHz spectrum space as the legacy equipment, butuses HT-mixed and HT-Greenfield frame formats), or 40 MHz HT (a new format that uses two 20 MHz
channels simultaneously, thus occupying 40 MHz spectrum space).

Requirements

This visualization shows what requirements set by the user are met. The zones where the requirement
is not met are marked with the corresponding legend color. If more than one requirement is not met,
only one color will be used.
