Setting Up the Graph
To start the WLAN Visualization tool, click WLAN Visualization > Launch... This opens a new browser window
and starts the Java applet.
The first time you launch the WLAN Visualization tool, there is no background image, and all discovered WLAN
components are ungraphed. The screen is split into two panes. The left pane has four container views that are
used to hold un-graphed components. The right pane is an area where graph definitions are shown. This graph
pane is initially blank and must be defined before WLAN components can be placed.
Creating a New Graph
You can create a graph for each floor of each building within the wireless system. Graphs can be created and
edited only when Live Visualization is disabled. To disable Live Visualization, click the Live Visualization control
button so that it flashes red.
