Optimizing a Network Plan 443Nortel WLAN—Management Software 2300 Series Reference GuideOptimizing a Network PlanAfter you deploy a network plan to the Nortel equipment in your live network, you can optimize the plan based on RFinformation from the network. The RF information can be from a site survey or from AP radios.• Site survey—RF measurements come from a site survey file generated by the Ekahau Site Survey™ tool. Save thefile in comma-separated values (csv) format and import the file into WLAN Management Software.• AP radios—RF measurements come from the APs in the network.Optimizing your network plan improves the accuracy of the model and provides more precise results when you visualizewireless coverage, locate users and rogue devices, and so on. You also can use optimization to find and fill coverageholes.Importing RF MeasurementsTo import RF measurements, you need to import the measurements from AP radios in the network, from a site surveyfile, or both.
