1 Introduction
Thank you very much for choosing RF3D WifiPlanner! RF3D WifiPlanner is an advanced 
program for planning wireless networks in conformance with the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/h 
standards. RF3D WifiPlanner helps you design more efficient wireless networks and en-
sure that they deliver optimum service even under heavy loads. Such planning usually 
saves costs too, not least by eliminating unnecessary access points. This also means 
less radiation, which is another benefit that should not be underestimated.
The number of wireless networks in professional use is constantly growing. For compa-
nies that want full WiFi coverage using multiple access points, there is no substitute for 
professional and efficient planning. Until now, however, it has been difficult to optimize 
the time and money spent on planning robust, high-availability wireless networks, es-
pecially in multi-story buildings. RF3D WifiPlanner software by Psiber Data meets this 
need, providing economical, application-specific planning of both simple and com-
plex wireless networks.
RF3D WifiPlanner  provides  true  three-dimensional  simulation of radio signal distribu-
tion in the building, and is thus the first tool to visualize co-channel and next-channel 
interference from access points on other floors. Furthermore, the number of access 
points required can be easily optimized through on-screen interactive planning. And 
this planning software pays for itself with the first unnecessary access point you save. 
Wireless network planners usually provide for too many access points, and more ac-
cess points do not generally improve the network quality. Instead, they cause channel 
overlap, which is often unavoidable, especially in 2.4 GHz networks. As a result, com-
plex wireless networks are usually relatively error-free at low data rates, but as data 
rates increase, errors become more frequent. But RF3D WifiPlanner lets you optimize 
your network specifically for the use you anticipate.
RF3D WifiPlanner uses theoretical principles to calculate signal distribution. The  net-
work as installed and its actual coverage may deviate from the results of such cal-
culations. Because the calculations are based on theoretical values, Psiber Data as-
sumes no liability for the accuracy of the results.

Fundamentals of Wireless Network Planning
To plan an efficient wireless network, it helps to understand a little radio communica-
tion theory. In this document we can only provide a brief summary with regard to wire-
less networks. For more detailed information, please consult the specialist literature.
2.1 Standardization in Wireless Networking
In designing standards for wireless networks as they are used in the industry today, the 
IEEE built on the Ethernet standard, IEEE 802.3. Like Ethernet, an IEEE WLAN functions 
as a shared medium with a decentralized access control mechanism. Every station 
competes for access with all other stations, and is responsible for regulating its own 
use of the medium. In this situation, the CSMA/CD access protocol (Carrier Sense Mul-
tiple Access with Collision Detection) ensures that every station gets an opportunity 
to transmit data over the medium. Because it uses the same media access technique, 
802.11 WLAN is often called “wireless Ethernet”.
The IEEE 802.11  standard defines several different Ethernet-based  wireless networks. 
The most  common of  these are 802.11a,  b,  g and  h. In  general, two different radio 
techniques are used in two different frequency bands. The 2.4 GHz ISM band is most 
often used. This band is reserved worldwide for license-free industrial, scientific and 
medical applications. The frequency band used can vary from one country to an-
other, however. For example, eleven channels can be used in the 2.4 GHz band in the 
United states, while up to 14 channels are available in other parts of the world. The 
other frequency band used for wireless Ethernet is around 5 GHz. In addition to the fre-
quency bands, the IEEE standards also specify transmitter power, data rates, packet 
structure, management packets, and much more.
2.1.1 The IEEE 802.11b Specification
The  wireless  Ethernet  standard  IEEE  802.11b,  adopted  in  late  1999,  is  the  first  such 
standard to be widely supported for both industrial and home use. Networking com-
ponents that support this standard communicate in the 2.4 GHz band. The specified 
data transfer rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbit/s.

manual
6
2.1.2 The IEEE 802.11g Specification
The IEEE 802.11g wireless Ethernet specification is an advanced extension of the wide-
ly accepted 802.11b  standard,  and was  adopted in mid-2003.  Like its  predecessor, 
802.11g also uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band. The data transfer rates were substan-
tially increased, however, so that the 802.11g standard permits throughput of 1, 2, 6, 9, 
12, 18, 24, 36 and 54 Mbit/s. Networking components that conform to the g specica-
tion are also compatible with the earlier b standard. For this reason, such components 
are often designated as “802.11 b/g compatible”.
2.1.3 The IEEE 802.11a Specification
The 802.11a extension to the IEEE wireless Ethernet standard was adopted in late 1999. 
Unlike b and g networks, 802.11a uses the 5 GHz band. The advantage here is that 
channel overlap is less frequent. The drawback, however, is  that the  5 GHz  band is 
subject to various regulations and restrictions in some countries. Like the g standard, 
802.11a species throughput rates of 1, 2, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 54 Mbit/s.
2.1.4 The IEEE 802.11h Specification
Although  IEEE  802.11b  equipment  became  widespread  all  over  the  world  around 
the turn of the millennium, the market for IEEE 802.11a products developed relatively 
slowly. In some countries, the regulatory agencies had not yet approved public use of 
the frequency band. The IEEE 802.11h extension was a substantial prerequisite to the 
use of products in conformance with the a standard in Europe. One major innovation 
of the h specification is that components monitor the desired channel for other appli-
cations, such as radar, which could otherwise be impaired by wireless network opera-
tion. In case of such interference, the WLAN equipment either reduces its transmitter 
power or shuts down. The operator can then select a different channel.
2.2 Frequencies and Channels 
All the wireless standards described here work with  fixed channel settings, not  with 
“frequency hopping” as used by other technologies such as Bluetooth. The 2.4 GHz 
ISM band is divided into 14 channels. Channels and frequencies are subject to dif-
ferent local regulations in each country, however, which must be taken into account 
during planning. For example, in the US, only channels 1 to 11 are used, while in Europe 
channels 1 to 13 are available. It is generally up to the operator to ensure that local 
regulations are observed.

manual
7
However, the channels in the ISM band overlap. For example, with reference to the 
actual  radio  output  of  an  access  point,  we  find  that  an  access  point  transmitting 
on channel three also emits a signal on the neighboring channels 1, 2, 4, and 5. This 
means  that  other  WLAN  components  communicating  on  any  of  those  four  chan-
nels will receive interference. This happens whenever the components transmit data. 
Data transmission generally occurs even when no user data is transported over the 
network — in other words, when the network is idle — because management informa-
tion, beacons, keep-alive packets and the like still have to be transported at regular 
intervals. This phenomenon is called near-channel interference.

manual
8
Interference arises whenever data is transmitted, and therefore networks that carry 
little or no data generate less interference. This also means that, although a network 
with lower data traffic still functions in spite of channel overlap, problems can be ex-
pected as traffic increases. In planning, of course, attention must be given to avoiding 
channel overlaps. This is done by planning overall WLAN network as a cellular structure 
in which adjacent cells use channels that are far apart in the frequency spectrum. 
Among the eleven channels available in the US, no more than three can be used with 
no overlapping: channels 1, 6, and 11.
It is also helpful to know that the maximum permissible transmitter power in this ISM 
band for indoor use is 20 dBm, or 100 mW.
The 5 GHz frequency band offers a greater number of non-overlapping channels, but 
is often subject to national regulations. Different countries permit different maximum 
indoor and outdoor transmitter power levels, for example.
2.3 Cellular Structure of a Wireless Network 
The size of a wireless cell — that is, the coverage area of an access point — is limited 
by the transmitter power. To cover larger areas, a structure of several adjacent cells is 
recommended. Because the adjacent cells overlap spatially, they must use distinct, 
non-overlapping channels.

manual
9
Note that, in this cellular structure, channel overlap must be avoided not only within 
each floor of a building, but also between adjacent floors. In other words, access points 
above and below one another should not use the same channels.
Another important consideration is the security of a company-wide wireless network. 
Usually the operator wants to avoid WLAN transmission beyond the boundaries of the 
company’s premises in order to prevent unauthorized access from outside. Furthermore, 
in designing the network’s cellular structure, you should also consider what applications 
are to be transported over the network. If an application such as telephony is to be pro-
vided over the WLAN, then each cell — that is, each access point — is usually supposed 
to support a specific number of simultaneous calls. This is usually not feasible in cells of 
the greatest possible size, so the network should be designed with smaller cells. Smaller 
cells can be achieved by reducing the transmitter power of specific access points. In 
this case, of course, more access points are required to cover a given area.
Another consideration in planning wireless cells is that the data rate depends in part 
on the signal power received at any given point. For applications with low data traffic, 
such as warehouse or logistics applications, it can be efficient to use the outer fringes 
of a cell in spite of weaker signal power.
2.4 Antennas
Antenna technology would take up a full chapter in a survey of WLAN fundamentals. 
For planning purposes, you need to know that cell shapes can be optimized by using 
appropriate antennas. In office floors, for example, signal radiation in a horizontal plane 
is very important, while vertical radiation  is often undesirable,  since it causes interfer-
ence  in  the  floors  above  and  below.  A  highly  directional  antenna,  such  as  a  panel 
antenna, may be used to cover a long corridor. Yagi antennas have an even narrower 
beam and are used for point-to-point communications,  such as radio links between 
two buildings.

manual
10
2.4.1 Omnidirectional Antennas Omnidirectional antennas are generally used to in-
crease the communication range within offices or homes. The antennas commonly sup-
plied with  access points are  omnidirectional.  Omnidirectional antennas have a beam 
angle of 360° in the horizontal plane. Vertically, their radiation pattern is compressed, and 
may cover an angle of 80°. These antennas can have a gain of 2 to 5 dB, and may be 
used to increase an access point’s horizontal range.
Please see appendix A:  The Antenna Library
2.4.2 Patch Antennas Patch antennas typically offer gain of 4 to 6 dB, with horizontal 
and vertical beam angles of 80° to 65°. A patch antenna can increase the communica-
tion range by up to 100%.
2.4.3 Yagi Antennas Yagi antennas are extremely directional antennas, and are used 
to set up point-to-point radio links, bridging distances of up to 300 m at 54 Mbit/s, 1 km 
at 11 Mbit/s, or 2 km at 2 Mbit/s for example using 2.4 GHz WLAN. In this way separate 
buildings can be interconnected using WLAN equipment.
Please see appendix A:  The Antenna Library
2.5 Attenuation
Once the signal leaves the access point’s antenna, it is subject to attenuation, or loss: that 
is, it becomes weaker. In the ideal case, the signal attenuation with increasing distance 
from the antenna is called free-space loss. The theoretical rate of free space loss is different 
for the different frequency bands, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. A 5 GHz signal is subject to greater 
loss than a 2.4 GHz signal. Indoors, the actual attenuation depends on the given build-
ing. The signal loss through wooden walls is clearly different from the loss through stone or 
reinforced concrete. It is therefore important to determine the building materials involved 
and their specific properties.
Please see appendix B:  The Wall and Floor Library
2.6 Theoretical Throughput Rates
Signal strength is one of the factors that determine the theoretical throughput of a wireless 
LAN. Wireless LAN components lower their data rate automatically when the received signal 
power is no longer sufficient for a higher throughput. Furthermore, the received signal must 
also be greater than the noise due to interference, typically by 10 dB. Thus the signal quality 
is characterized in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). 

manual
11
2.7 Redundancy
To protect the supported applications against failures, a certain redundancy must be de-
signed  into  a  wireless network. This  means  that,  if  a  given  access point fails,  the  stations it 
served  can  join  neighboring  radio  cells.  However,  since  access  points  too  close  together 
generally cause interference, redundancy planning always involves a compromise between 
reliability and throughput.
The RF3D User Interface
RF3D WifiPlanner’s user interface has been designed to display even complex WLAN plans 
understandably. RF3D WifiPlanner calculates three-dimensional radio characteristics in real 
time, and  displays them  in horizontal  cross-sections corresponding  to the  floors  of a  build-
ing. A navigation column at the left presents simplified thumbnails of all the floor plans. The 
selected floor is displayed in detail in the main window, where you can edit it interactively. 
The tabs at the bottom of the window allow you to select the Simulation, Access Points and 
Advanced options.
3.1Importing Building Plans 
For an exact simulation of floors one above another, the building plans must be aligned. For 
this purpose the RF3D WifiPlanner includes an Import Wizard to assist you in importing indi-
vidual floor plans in alignment with one another. Floor plans can be imported in the common 
image formats JPG, BMP and PNG. In selecting oor plans, you should choose image les of 
moderate size and resolution, since high-definition floor plans consume memory unnecessar-
ily. We recommend that you use images of less than 1000 × 1000 pixels. If your plans are cur-

manual
12
rently in DXF format (as produced by Auto-CAD for example), you can convert them either 
using the  graphics program they were created with, or  using commonly available utilities. 
Other ways of obtaining  the necessary  plans include scanning paper  drawings or  photo-
graphing the emergency exit plans posted on each floor of most buildings. It doesn’t matter 
if the individual oor plans have different resolutions or orientations: the Import Wizard solves 
such problems easily.
To start the Wizard, select the menu command File/New.   
Click Next to import an image file of the first floor plan. Browse to the desired image 
file in the file selection dialog.
To ensure that all the floor plans for the whole building are aligned one above anoth-
er, you must choose two corresponding reference points in each plan. RF3D WifiPlan-
ner automatically scales and rotates the individual plans to align the selected points 
exactly in vertical lines. You only need to take care to select the two points so that 
they can be identified exactly on every floor plan. It is a good idea to select the upper 
left and right corners of the building as reference points, for example. Furthermore, 
you  must  enter the exact  distance  between the  two reference points.  Specify  the 
distance in the measurement unit selected in the program options, feet or meters.

manual
13
After you have selected the image file for the first floor plan, you can align it with the 
grid so that the walls are exactly horizontal and vertical. This will make it much simpler 
to draw in the walls later. To align the plan, rotate it using the slider, then use the left 
and right arrow keys for finer adjustments.
Then set the “coordinate origin,” such as the upper left corner of the building, and a 
second “reference point,”  such as the upper right corner of the building. Remember 
that the same two points must be identifiable on the plan of every floor. Now enter in-
formation about the plan, including the following items: 
Level Name: Specify a name for the current floor, such as “Ground Level” or “Fifth Floor”.
Level Height: Enter the floor’s elevation above ground level. This value can be negative if 
your planning includes underground levels.
Level Name above: Enter the name of the floor above the current floor. When you 
later import the next higher floor plan, be sure to give it the name you indicate here. 
Mismatched next-level names should only occur in special cases, such as split-level 
building plans.
Distance: Specify the distance between the two reference points on this floor. You should 
enter this distance as exactly as possible, since coverage calculations may otherwise be 
inexact.
Now click Next Floor to import the next plan. This time you do not need to align the image. 
Simply  click on the same two reference points as in the first plan, in the same order. Repeat 
this procedure until you have imported all the floor plans. Click Finish to close the Wizard.

3.2 The Toolbox
The Toolbox provides all the tools you need to design a wireless LAN. When you select Floor, 
Supp. Wall, or Wall, the drop-down list to the right in the Toolbox contains a list of the possible 
material types for the corresponding building element. To draw in building elements on the 
plan, select a material type in the list. The material types are stored in the program as librar-
ies, which can be easily expanded. For details, see Chapter 5, “Advanced Settings”.
As described in Chapter 4, it is a good idea to draw in the plan elements — floors, walls, ac-
cess points, etc. — in a certain order.
Floor1.  : Select this tool to describe oors or ceilings. A oor element is a polygon with 
any number of sides. If there is an opening in a floor, such as a courtyard surrounded 
by the  building,  you must  draw  the  floor  accordingly.  For  detailed  instructions,  see 
Chapter  5.  To  draw  a  floor,  click  with  the  left  mouse  button  at  the  corners  of  the 
desired area. At the last corner, click with the right mouse button to complete the 
polygon.
Supp. Wall:2.   Supporting walls are elements of the building structure that are continu-
ous through  all  floors. You should use  the supporting  wall  tool  wherever  possible  in 
order to minimize the number of plan elements and make the program’s calculations 
significantly faster.
Wall: 3.  Use the Wall tool to draw partition walls that are present only in the selected 
floor. A wide variety of material types is available for partition walls, and the more ex-
actly you draw all the walls that exist in your building, the better your planning will be. 
To draw a wall, click with the left mouse button where the wall begins and at each 
angle, then with the right mouse button where the wall ends.
Arrow symbol: 4.  Use the arrow tool to select elements in the plan. You can also edit the 
plan by dragging and dropping the drawing elements. To select several elements, 
press and hold the Ctrl key while you click on them. Clicking on a wall selects only 
one segment of it.
Access Point/Antenna:5.   Use this tool to place an access point with its antenna in the 
plan. To insert an access point without an external antenna, use the antenna type 
“Generic Antenna a/b/g 7 dBi Omni.” For all other antennas, select the desired type 
from the list. To add new antenna types to the library, see Chapter 5. You can also 
download additional antenna libraries from www.rf3d.com.

manual
15
3.3 Drawing and Selecting Elements
First select the desired element  in the Toolbox, then choose the appropriate type of 
material. Draw in plan elements using both the left and right mouse buttons: rst use the 
left mouse button to mark corners, then the right mouse button to finish the element. 
Walls, floors and supporting walls are ordinarily drawn only in horizontal and vertical 
segments. But you can also draw diagonal segments at any angle simply by pressing 
the Ctrl key as you move the mouse. In this way you can draw walls and floors of any 
shape desired.
You can also select several walls at once, copy them to the Clipboard, and duplicate 
them in a different floor. Press and hold the Ctrl key while you select the desired ele-
ments by clicking on them with the left mouse button. Then select the menu com-
mand Edit/Copy (or press Ctrl+C). Choose the desired oor among the thumbnails 
in the left panel, then select the menu command Edit/Paste (or press Ctrl+V). If you 
make  a mistake in editing the plan, use the menu command Edit/Undo (Ctrl+Z) to 
reverse the operation. To restore what you have undone, select Edit/Redo (Ctrl+Y).
3.4 The Simulation Tab
The  Simulation  tab  provides  a  great 
deal of information and several config-
uration options during the simulation of 
your projected WLAN.
A.  When you first start the RF3D WifiPlanner, 
the option “Automatic selective recompute” is activated. This means that the wireless 
network  characteristics are  recalculated automatically whenever you draw or  move 
elements in the plan. This makes interactive planning easy. However, you may want to 
turn off automatic recomputing until you have completed at least a rough draft of your 
network plan. When the automatic recompute option is deactivated, you can click the 
“Tot.Recomp.” button at any time to recompute the wireless network characteristics.
B.  The box labeled Info contains the basic information about the current floor.
C.  The “Resolution” control allows you to choose how precisely you want the WLAN charac-
teristics to be computed. Low resolution uses yields a rough estimation of the wireless net-
work characteristics, while high resolution results in very precise calculations. Note that 
the resolution setting has drastic effects on the computation time  and the program’s 
memory needs, however. Low resolution is therefore recommended for interactive plan-
ning work. Once you have completed your plan, you can use higher resolution to gener-
ate reports.
D.  The Network Load control allows you to simulate various data traffic levels in your pro-
jected wireless network. This is very helpful since it allows you to design your network ac-
cording to the types of applications it will support. Low network loads can be expected 
for  example  in  warehousing  and  logistics  applications,  while  office  applications  and 
Voice-over-IP usually generate higher traffic loads.
E.  View: In this drop-down list you can choose the network characteristic that you want to 
display. The list contains the following views:

manual
16
Log. Power
This is the received signal strength of the strongest access point at each location. Use 
this view  to gauge the quality of your network coverage.  A value of –70 dB or higher 
is sufcient. (Remember that, since the values in dB are negative, a higher value is one 
that is closer to zero.)
Log. SNR 
This view shows the signal-to-noise ratio at each location, which reflects the effects of 
co-channel interference.  A value of 10 dB or higher is good. 
Data Rate
The data rate view shows the estimated attainable data rate at each location. This is 
a very useful prediction of how the projected network will actually perform. The display 
shows values between 1 and 54 Mbit/s. Higher data rates are better.
Interference
Interference  is  a  major  concern  in  wireless  network  planning.  Interference  is  caused 
mainly by co-channel overlap with other access points. Reduce interference by select-
ing different channels for adjacent access points, or by reducing the output power of 
certain access points. This will reduce the size of the cell. How much interference you 
want to accept depends on your specific needs for redundancy and for throughput.
Redundancy (full version only) 
Access point redundancy is important in areas that require continuous network avail-
ability even when local failures or system overloads occur. The RF3D WifiPlanner provides 
various views to help you plan access point redundancy. Each view simulates a certain 
scenario  in  which you  can  ensure  that critical  areas have  adequate backup  cover-
age. 
Log. Power Reliability Level 1
This view displays the signal strength received from the second strongest access point at 
each location, assuming that the strongest access point is no longer working.
Log. Power Reliability Level 2
This view displays the signal strength received from the third strongest access point at 
each location, assuming that the strongest access point is no longer working.
Log. SNR Reliability Level 1
This view displays the signal-to-noise ratio at each location assuming that the strongest 
access point is no longer working.
Log. SNR Reliability Level 2
This view displays the signal-to-noise ratio at each location assuming that the two strong-
est access points are no longer working.
F.  The color scale indicates what numeric values correspond to the colors in the main dis-
play. You can modify the range and the number of gradations in the input fields below 
the color scale. This is practical when you would like to display finer distinctions in the 
plan.

manual
17
3.5 The Access Point Tab
The Access Points tab lists all the access points currently planned, and allows you to 
modify their properties. The properties of each access point include a name and a 
description, the transmitter power, the channel setting, and the antenna orientation. 
The orientation is expressed in terms of rotation in the horizontal plane and inclina-
tion from the vertical. The rotation is entered in degrees, as on a compass, measured 
clockwise from the top of the plan: 0° indicates that the antenna is aimed “north”, 
or towards the top of the plan; 90° is to the right, 180° towards the bottom, etc. In the 
Tilt field, a positive value indicates that the antenna is tilted upwards, and a negative 
value indicates the inclination downwards. 0° means that the antenna is in its normal 
orientation with respect to the horizontal plane.

In addition to walls and floors, enclosed spaces also contain many movable obstacles, 
such as people in offices and merchandise in warehouses, and objects that would 
be too difficult to draw in individually, such as furniture, shelves etc. For this reason, the 
Advanced tab allows you to set a global average attenuation factor to account for 
such objects in different kinds of spaces.
Select Free Space if there is no additional loss to be anticipated, as in outdoor areas 
such as parking lots or campus yards.
The default setting, Factory/Warehouse, factors in low to moderate loss for low-density 
spaces such as warehouses.
The Office setting  adds  moderate  to high  attenuation  to account for  the furniture 
and persons present in typical office environments.
4 Planning Wireless Networks
4.1 What Application Is Intended?
To  plan a  wireless network, start by  determining which applications will eventually  be 
transported over the projected network. There are critical differences between applica-
tions that  require greater redundancy,  but only  low data traffic, such  as warehousing 
and logistics, and applications that require high bandwidth, such as voice-over-WLAN.

manual
18
For a warehouse application, for example, you should design the wireless cells larger and 
tolerate a higher level of interference. This increases reliability, since the second nearest 
access point to a given location will probably be usable in case the nearest one fails. To 
change the size of the wireless cells, click the Access Points tab and adjust the transmit-
ter power of each access point. The higher the transmitter power of an access point, the 
larger the cell it covers.
Inversely, if you are designing a network for voice-over-WLAN, you should plan smaller 
cells. This is because interference should be minimized for voice-over-WLAN, since voice 
packets that are lost due to interference are not resent, as lost packets in other applica-
tions are. Thus interference affects voice fidelity, and in extreme cases can make voice 
communication impossible.
4.2 Entering Environmental Factors
In  planning  a  wireless  network  with  the  RF3D  WifiPlanner,  you  should  follow  a  certain  se-
quence of steps in order to achieve your objective quickly and easily. Furthermore, perform-
ing the steps in the order described here minimizes the computation involved, and hence 
the processing time as well. The process can be divided into ve simple steps:
Once you have imported all the building plans as described in Section 3.1, you should first 
draw in the floors in each level. If all the floors in the building are of the same shape and the 
same materials, you can copy the first floor to all the other plans using the menu command 
Edit/Paste Floor to Other Levels.
Hint: Before you begin drawing in all the building elements, you can turn off the Automatic 
selective recompute function as described in Section 3.4. This will save processor time, since 
otherwise the RF3D WifiPlanner recomputes the wireless network characteristics each time 
you draw an element of the building plan.
There are two different kinds of walls in the RF3D WiPlanner: supporting walls, drawn with the 
Supp. Wall tool in the Toolbox, and partition walls, drawn with the Wall tool. When you draw a 
supporting wall, it is automatically inserted in all levels of the building, and the RF3D WifiPlan-
ner treats it as a single element. You should use supporting walls to represent all the walls in 
your building that have the same position and material composition in all levels. This can sig-
nificantly reduce the processing time in comparison to normal walls drawn in on each level 
separately, since there are fewer elements to be processed by the computing algorithms.
After you have drawn in all the supporting walls, you should draw in the partition walls on 
each level.

manual
19
4.3 Positioning Access Points 
Now that you have drawn all the elements of the building, you can begin to design 
the  WLAN  itself  by  positioning  the  access  points  and  defining  their  properties.  Be-
cause RF3D WifiPlanner considers each access point in combination with its antenna, 
you should know what type of antenna you are thinking of using when you select the 
Access Point tool in the Toolbox. If you plan to use an access point without an external 
antenna, you can select one of the “Generic” types. RF3D WifiPlanner has a library 
containing a number of external antenna definitions. When you use a directional an-
tenna, you can aim it in your plan as described in Section 3.5.
Select the desired antenna in the Toolbox list.
When you begin to position your access points, you should make sure that sufficient 
signal power can be received everywhere in the building. Sufficient signal power gen-
erally means a value of –60 dBm or better. Another thing to consider in your planning 
is interference. Primarily, this means avoiding co-channel interference, which occurs 
when adjacent access points use overlapping channel settings.

manual
20
Sufficient signal power (–60 dBm or better) throughout the building..
Start your planning with the access points in the lowest level, and use a cellular struc-
ture as described in Section 2.3. Set the communication channels of the access points 
in conformance with national restrictions. When you continue with the access points 
in the other levels, remember that access points transmit through floors and ceilings. 
Your cellular structure should therefore take into account the access points located 
above and below one another.
Setting the communication channels for all access points. Avoid channel overlap.

manual
21
When you choose channels for the access points, it can be helpful to switch the view 
mode from signal power to data rate, because the data rate view reflects any adverse 
effects of co-channel or near-channel interference due to channel settings.
Checking the results of access point settings in the Data Rate view.
4.4 Optimizing Wireless Networks
When you have finished planning wireless signal coverage for the building, you can 
begin to optimize the network. You can do this in several ways, using the RF3D WifiPlan-
ner’s various views  on the Simulation tab, such as  data rate, interference, etc. One 
approach is to display the expected data rates. The data rate view reflects all radio 
effects, including interference, signal-to-noise ratio and network traffic loads. Gaps or 
areas with lower data rates indicate room for improvement. To analyze the causes of 
lower data rates, you can use the interference or SNR views. The problems can be al-
leviated by changing the access point settings.
When you are satisfied with your basic WLAN plan, you can then simulate its behavior 
in case of faults, such as access point failures. Do this by deactivating individual ac-
cess points on the Access Points tab. A better way, however, is to use the “Log. Power 
Reliability  Level 1” view.  In this view,  RF3D WifiPlanner  displays the signal power  that 
would be received at each location in the plan if the strongest access point for that 
location had failed. For high-reliability applications, gaps in the coverage in this view 
can be a problem. You can fill such gaps by adding access points.
There is always more than one way to design a wireless network. The need for a reliable or 
“high-availability” network is often difficult to reconcile with the need to ensure high data 
rates by avoiding interference. You will find, however, that networks you have designed using 
RF3D WifiPlanner are efficient, optimum solutions.

5 Advanced Settings
5.1 Editing Wall and Floor Libraries
he properties and settings of wall and floor materials are stored in the library. You can 
easily edit and expand this library. Each type of wall or oor is saved in a separate XML 
file. These files are contained in the folder RF3DWifiPlanner/WallsFloors.
The names of the wall and floor files must follow certain rules in order to be recognized 
by the RF3D WiPlanner program. Example: ft_003_6-_Brick_7_18dB. The le name must 
begin with ‘ft’ or ‘m’ to indicate whether this wall or floor is defined in feet or in meters. 
The wall or floor is then available in the Toolbox only when the same measurement 
unit is selected in the program options. The next part of the file name after the meas-
urement  unit  abbreviation  is  an  underscore  followed  by  a  three-digit  number.  This 
number determines the position at which the given wall or floor type appears in the 
toolbox list. After another underscore comes the name you want to use for this wall or 
floor type.
The best way to create a wall or floor type is to find a file that defines a similar, existing 
type, open it in Notepad, and save it under a new name before editing its contents. 
The lines you can edit are explained with examples below.
The Type line defines the name displayed in the Toolbox.
<Type id=“ref-4“>6“ Brick 7/18dB</Type>
The DampA_dB line indicates the signal attenuation through such a wall or oor in dB 
in the 5 GHz band used for 802.11 a and h networks.
<DampA_dB>7</DampA_dB>
The DampBG_dB line indicates the signal attenuation through such a wall or oor in 
dB in the 2.4 GHz band used for 802.11 b and g networks.
<DampBG_dB>18</DampBG_dB>
The GaugeFeet line indicates the thickness of the wall or floor in feet. If you enter a 
non-zero value here, you should enter zero in the GaugeMeter line below.
<GaugeFeet>0.5</GaugeFeet>
The GaugeMeter line indicates the thickness of the wall or oor in meters. If you enter 
a non-zero value here, you should enter zero in the GaugeFeet line above.
<GaugeMeter>0</GaugeMeter>
The knownColor line defines the color in which you will draw the wall or floor in the level 
plans. For permissible color names, see the table in Appendix c.
<knownColor>142</knownColor>
The IsFloor line determines whether the building element described in this file is a wall 
or a floor. If IsFloor is true, it’s a floor. If IsFloor is false, the file describes a wall.
<IsFloor>false</IsFloor>
If you have edited a copy of an existing library file, you must leave all other parts of 
the file unchanged. Otherwise, the program may behave unexpectedly.

manual
23
5.2 Editing the Access Point/Antenna Library
The antenna library, like the wall and floor library, is stored in the form of individual files 
for each antenna type. These files are contained in the folder RF3DWifiPlanner/Anten-
nas, and can be edited with Notepad. The best way to create an antenna type is to 
find the file that defines a similar, existing type, open it in Notepad, and save it under 
a new name before editing its contents.
Any antenna can be defined for the 2.4 GHz band, the 5 GHz band, or both bands. 
The example used in the following explanation defines an antenna for the 2.4 GHz 
band only. 
An antenna file  describes  the antenna’s radiation  pattern in  terms  of its  horizontal 
and vertical cross-sections, as well as some additional parameters. The antenna’s ra-
diation pattern must be described for the antenna’s normal installation orientation. 
Theta (θ) represents the upward elevation angle from the horizontal plane in degrees. 
Negative values indicate downward elevation. Phi (ϕ) designates the azimuth angle 
in degrees — that is, the rotational angle in the horizontal plane, where positive val-
ues represent a clockwise rotation from 12 o’clock. Directional antennas should be 
described so that their greatest gain is at phi=0° and theta=0°. 
You can enter as many directional gain values (data points) as you want, and the 
number of data points only has to be entered in a few places, as described below. 
The data points you specify can also be at any angles desired, and their distribution 
can vary within an antenna file. However, both the precision of the program display 
and the time required to recompute and refresh the display increase as the number 
of data points increases. 
In computing the antenna gain, the program adds the directional gain in dBi to the 
global gain (in the example, 4 dBi). This means that the directional gain value should 
be normalized to 0 dBi.
Please note that the decimal point must be a period (‘.’). Note too that the tags and 
values are case-sensitive.
The Type line contains the text displayed for this antenna type in the toolbox.  
<Type id=“ref-4“>SOA 2400/360/4/0/DS</Type>
The  TypeShort  line  is  not  currently  used  in  the  program.  
You can use it for your comments. 
<TypeShort id=“ref-5“>Bild 6, 139.26.0044</TypeShort>
The Gain_dB_2_4GHz line denes the antenna gain in the 2.4 GHz band.
<Gain_dB_2_4GHz>4</Gain_dB_2_4GHz>

manual
24
The IsZIsotropic_2_4GHz line indicates whether the antenna is approximately omnidirec-
tional in the horizontal plane in the 2.4 GHz band. The value true indicates that its radia-
tion pattern is roughly rotationally symmetric with respect to the vertical axis.
<IsZIsotropic_2_4GHz>true</IsZIsotropic_2_4GHz>
The Gain_dB_5GHz line denes the antenna gain in the 5 GHz band.
<Gain_dB_5GHz>0</Gain_dB_5GHz>
The IsZIsotropic_5GHz line indicates whether the antenna is approximately omnidirec-
tional in the horizontal plane in the 5 GHz band. The value true indicates that its radia-
tion pattern is roughly rotationally symmetric with respect to the vertical axis.
<IsZIsotropic_5GHz>false</IsZIsotropic_5GHz>
The Is2_4GHz line species whether the antenna can be used in the 2.4 GHz band.
<Is2_4GHz>true</Is2_4GHz>
The Is5GHz line specifies whether the antenna can be used in the 5 GHz band.
<Is5GHz>false</Is5GHz>

5.3 Options and Settings
To adjust other program settings, select the the menu command Tools/Options. The 
Country option group allows you to set appropriate parameters for the country where 
you are located. The Geometry option group lets you specify default values for the 
height of new access points above the floor, the vertical distance between floors, etc. 
The options in the Graphics group allow you to set display properties, and the Physics 
option  group  allows  you  to  set  basic  physical  parameters  for  radio  signal  calcula-
tions. Finally, the options in the Printer group allow you to control how your planning 
diagrams are printed. 
To change any setting, click on the existing value. A description of the parameter ap-
pears in the box below the options list. After you have changed one or more of these 
settings, you must exit the program and restart it for your new settings to take effect. To 
reset all options to their original values, click the “Defaults” button.
5.4 Floors with Openings
Some buildings have open areas in the floors, such as inner courtyards. Such areas 
must be left open in your plans as well in order for interference to be computed cor-
rectly. You can draw oors with open areas as follows: First, draw some of the edges 
of the floor along the outer walls, but do not complete the polygon. Then draw the 
edges of the open space in the interior.

manual
28
In this way you can draw the floor in one piece while leaving an interior area open.
5.5 Split-Level Buildings
To  represent  buildings  with  split  levels,  import  a  drawing for  each  partial  level and 
draw in  partial  floors  for  the  existing  floor  areas.  Remember,  though,  that  walls you 
draw in on a lower level extend only to the height of the next higher level, even if they 
do not meet a floor there. If your building has walls that extend through a split level, 
you must draw them on the lower level and again in the unfloored space on the next 
higher, partially floored level.

all other applicable national laws of the country in which it is being used. The structure, organi-
zation and code of the Software are the intellectual property, valuable trade secrets and con-
fidential information of Psiber and/or its licensors and affiliates. You must not copy the Software, 
except as set forth in clause 3 (Limitations On End User Rights). Any copies which You are permit-
ted to make pursuant to this Agreement must contain the same copyright and other proprietary 
notices that appear on the Software. Psiber permits you to Use the Software only in accordance 
with the terms of this Agreement. Use of some third party materials included in the Software may 
be subject to other terms and conditions typically found in a separate license agreement.
5. MULTIPLE ENVIRONMENT SOFTWARE / MULTIPLE LANGUAGE SOFTWARE / DUAL MEDIA SOFTWARE / 
MULTIPLE COPIES / UPDATES.
If the Software supports multiple platforms or languages, if You receive the Software on multiple 
media, of if You otherwise receive multiple copies of the Software, the number of computers on

7. YOU  ACKNOWLEDGE THAT  THE SOFTWARE  IS  PROVIDED  „AS  IS“ WITHOUT WARRANTY  OF  ANY 

manual
43
KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW NEITHER 
PSIBER ITS LICENSORS OR AFFILIATES NOR THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS 
OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MER-
CHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT INFRINGE 
ANY THIRD PARTY PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS OR OTHER RIGHTS. THERE IS NO WARRANTY 
BY PSIBER OR BY ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET 
YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ER-
ROR-FREE. YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR THE SELECTION OF THE SOFTWARE TO 
ACHIEVE YOUR INTENDED RESULTS AND FOR THE INSTALLATION, USE AND RESULTS OBTAINED FROM 
IT.
LIMITED WARRANTY FOR USERS RESIDING IN GERMANY OR AUSTRIA. If you obtained the Software 
in Germany or Austria, and you usually reside in such country, then the paragraph above under 
Section 7 does not apply, instead, Psiber warrants that the Software provides the functionalities 
set forth in the Documentation (the „agreed upon functionalities“) for the limited warranty pe-
riod following receipt of the Software when used on the recommended hardware configuration. 
As used in this Section, „limited warranty period“ means one (1) year if you are a business user 
and two (2) years if you are not a business user. Non-substantial variation from the agreed upon 
functionalities shall not be considered and does not establish any warranty rights. THIS LIMITED 
WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO SOFTWARE PROVIDED TO YOU FREE OF CHARGE, FOR EXAMPLE, 
UPDATES, PRE-RELEASE, TRYOUT, PRODUCT SAMPLER, NOT FOR RESALE (NFR) COPIES OF SOFTWARE, 
OR SOFTWARE THAT HAS BEEN ALTERED BY YOU, TO THE EXTENT SUCH ALTERATIONS CAUSED A DE-
FECT. To make a warranty claim, during the limited warranty period you must return, at our ex-
pense, the Software and proof of purchase to the location where you obtained it. If the function-
alities of the Software vary substantially from the agreed upon  functionalities,  Psiber is entitled 
-- by way of re-performance and at its own discretion -- to repair or replace the Software. If this 
fails, you are entitled to a reduction of the purchase price (reduction) or to cancel the purchase 
agreement (rescission). 
The provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, how-
soever caused, but this shall not imply or create any continued right to Use the Software after 
termination of this Agreement. 
8. NO OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
This Agreement creates no obligations on the part of Psiber other than as specifically set forth 
herein.  
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PSIBER, ITS EMPLOY-
EES OR  LICENSORS  OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE  FOR ANY  DAMAGES,  CLAIMS  OR COSTS, ANY  LOST 
PROFITS, REVENUE, SALES, DATA OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, 
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMA-
TION OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, ECONOMIC, COVER, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL 
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,  HOWEVER CAUSED AND WHETHER ARISING UNDER CONTRACT, 
TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO 
USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF PSIBER OR ITS LICENSORS OR AFFILIATES ARE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBIL-
ITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BECAUSE SOME COUNTRIES/STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE 
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, BUT MAY ALLOW LIABILITY TO BE LIMITED, IN SUCH CASES, 
PSIBER, ITS EMPLOYEES OR LICENSORS OR AFFILIATES‘ LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO U.S. $50.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prejudice the statutory rights of any party dealing as a 
consumer. Nothing contained in this Agreement limits Psiber‘s liability to You in the event of death 
or personal injury resulting from Psiber‘s negligence. Psiber is acting on behalf of its employees 
and licensors or affiliates for the purpose of disclaiming, excluding and/or restricting obligations, 
warranties and liability as provided in this clause 9, but in no other respects and for no other pur-
pose.
IF YOU OBTAINED THE SOFTWARE IN GERMANY OR AUSTRIA, and you usually reside in such coun-
try, then the paragraphs above under Section 9 do not apply. Instead, Psiber‘s statutory liability 
for damages shall be limited as follows: (i) Psiber shall be liable only up to the amount of dam-
ages as typically foreseeable at the time of entering into the purchase agreement in respect 
of damages caused by a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation and (ii) 
Psiber shall not be liable for damages caused by a slightly negligent breach of a non-material 
contractual obligation. The aforesaid limitation of liability shall not apply to any mandatory statu-
tory liability, in particular, to liability under the German Product Liability Act, liability for assuming 
a specific guarantee or liability for culpably caused personal injuries. You are required to take all 
reasonable measures to avoid and reduce damages, in particular to make back-up copies of 
the Software and your computer data subject to the provisions of this Agreement. 
10. TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
Psiber has no obligation to furnish You with technical support unless separately agreed in writing 
between You and Psiber.
11. EXPORT CONTROL.
You agree that the Software will not be shipped, transferred or exported into any country or used 
in any manner prohibited by the United States Export Administration Act or any other export laws, 
restrictions or regulations (collectively the „Export Laws“). In addition, if the Software is identied 
as export controlled items under the Export Laws, you represent and warrant that you are not a 
citizen, or otherwise located within, an embargoed nation (including without limitation Iran, Syria, 
Sudan, Libya, Cuba, and North Korea) and that you are not otherwise prohibited under the Export 
Laws from receiving the Software. All rights to Use the Software are granted on condition that 
such rights are forfeited if you fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement. 
The Software, including technical data, may be subject to export controls under the U.S. Export 
Administration Regulations („EAR“) and to import or export controls in other countries. The EAR 
prohibits the use of the Software and technical data by a Government End-User, as defined here-
after, without a license from the U.S. government. A Government End-User is defined in Part 772 of 
the EAR as „any foreign central, regional or local government department, agency or other entity 
performing governmental functions; including governmental research institutions, governmental 
Data corporations or their separate business units (as dened in part 772 of the EAR) which are 
engaged in  the  manufacture  or  distribution  of  items  or  services  controlled on  the Wassenaar 
Munitions List, and international governmental organizations. This term does not include: utilities 
(telecommunications companies and Internet service providers; banks and nancial institutions; 
transportation; broadcast or entertainment; educational organizations; civil health and medical 
organizations; retail or wholesale firms; and manufacturing or industrial entities not engaged in 
the manufacture or distribution of items or services controlled on the Wassenaar Munitions List.)“ 
You agree to comply strictly with all applicable import and export regulations and acknowledge 
that You have the responsibility to obtain licenses to export, re-export, transfer or import the Soft-
ware. You further represent that You are not a Government End User as defined above, and You 
will not transfer the Software to any Government End user without a license.

13.  APPLICABLE LAW & GENERAL PROVISIONS.
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws in 
force: (a) in the State of California, if a license to the Software is obtained when you are in the 
United States, Canada, or Mexico; or (b) Germany, if a license to the Software is purchased when 
you  are  in  any  other  jurisdiction  not  described  above.  The  respective  courts  shall  each  have 
non-exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes relating to this Agreement. This Agreement will not be 
governed by the conflict of law rules of any jurisdiction or the United Nations Convention on Con-
tracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. 
If any part of this Agreement is found void and unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the 
balance of the Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. This 
Agreement may only be modified by a  writing signed by an authorized officer of Psiber, although 
Psiber may vary the terms of this Agreement.
This is the entire agreement between Psiber and You relating to the Software and it supersedes 
any  prior  representations,  discussions,  undertakings,  end  user  agreements,  communications  or
