Viewing RF Coverage Maps
To view a live RF coverage map for a location node, Authorized APs and Sensors must be placed on the floor map.
Use the following steps to view live RF coverage maps:
1. Place devices on the floor map using the steps given in the Placing APs and Sensors on the Floor map
and Viewing Details section.
2. Select one of the following views.
AP Coverage View
The AP Coverage View enables you to view an 802.11 RF coverage map based on the dBm at each point on the layout.
This information is useful to find out available signal strength at each point. The color-coding scheme used enhances
the readability of the map.

Sensor Coverage View
Detection Range is the area over which Sensors can reliably detect wireless activity of devices operating at a power
level greater than the value set in the Transmit Power slider. The Intrusion Detection Display Threshold
determines the threshold for this range.
Prevention Range is the area over which Sensors can prevent unauthorized wireless activity. The Intrusion
Prevention Display Threshold determines the threshold for this range.
Note: Prevention Range view is not visible if WIDS license is applied.
Both detection and prevention ranges are affected by various parameters under AdministrationGlobalLocation
SettingsRF Propagation. The reliability of the prevention also depends on the Intrusion Prevention Level chosen
under AdministrationLocalOperating PoliciesIntrusion Prevention Intrusion Prevention Level.
Calibrating RF Views
Calibration helps in tuning RF parameters used by the system to compare the AP and Sensor predictions to actual
observations. The system has a robust calibration technique that also allows manual intervention in case of
discrepancy. Use the following steps to calibrate RF views:
1. Generate the RF Coverage map using the steps explained in the Viewing RF Coverage Maps section and
then clicking Calibration.
2. To improve predictions, fine-tune the Min. Signal Decay Constant and the Max. Signal Decay
Constant.
Note: Min. Signal Decay Constant specifies the amount of signal loss that is acceptable for regions close to the transmitter
(Sensor). Max. Signal Decay Constant specifies the amount of signal loss that is acceptable for regions away from the
transmitter. Signal loss is directly proportional to the signal decay constants.
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
137
Locations Tab
3.
Change the values of the Signal Decay Slope (Beta) and the Signal Decay Inflection (Alpha). The
system uses these parameters when computing the RF and defines the region around the transmitter
that is unobstructed.
Note: When you change the Min. Signal Decay Constant, Max. Signal Decay Constant, Signal Decay Slope (Beta), and
Signal Decay Inflection (Alpha) the RF view and location tracking for unobstructed regions is affected. In the obstructed
regions, only Location Tracking is affected, RF view is not affected.
4.
Click Update Graph to view your selection against the predicted values.
Important: The Predicted value curve should overlap the Observed value curve as much as possible.

6.
Click Calibrate to complete calibration if you have adjusted the parameters manually such that the two
curves are parallel (but not coinciding).
Click Apply to commit your changes.
