Wireless LAN Environment

Each has its own characteristics. Environment types are set with the 3-leg path loss model.  WiTuners has a set of predefined environments. Users can also define and save their own environment types.

You can set or select an environment type for the current floor from the system pop-up. On clicking the Path loss Curve, you can see the path loss diagram for the model you selected, a convenient means to help you define the environment for your needs.

Set defaults environment

Default types of APs etc are frequently used when you plan a deployment with WiTuners. For example, when you drag the wall icon from the top tool-bar onto the deployment panel, a new wall is added whose properties use what is defined by the default wall type. From the Settings on the top tool-bar, you can select to set the default types for default AP, default Client, default wall type, and default environment.
