Installing LANPlanner is much like installing any other Microsoft Windows software. However, LANPlanner

uses electronic license control, so an extra activation step will be required. In order to install LANPlanner,

you will need your installation CD and some way to transfer files to your PC or receive email directly on your

PC.

Now that you have installed the software, you can

begin designing your wireless network. This

Quick Start Guide provides a summary of the

basic steps in formatting a building, so that you

can more easily complete your first project. You

can refer to the full LANPlanner User’s Guide for

detailed information about each step in the

process. The basic steps in executing a

LANPlanner project are:

• Create a 3D virtual model of your building

or campus: the “RF Intelligent Map”.

• Create a 3D virtual model of your wireless

network: the “RF Intelligent Model”.

• Simulate the behavior of your network, and

modify its design, until your performance

criteria are met.

• Document the design with a bill of materials

and full design report.

Modeling your building or campus

Modeling your building or campusModeling your building or campus

Modeling your building or campus

LANPlanner makes it easy to create a 3D virtual

model of your building environment. The 3D

model you will create consists of radio signal

propagation obstacles (e.g. walls) and includes

height, width, location and how much they

attenuate radio signals.

Your building model starts with a diagram

of the building floor plan. You can use a digital

scan of a paper floor plan (e.g. a fire escape plan

scanned into a digital picture format such as JPG,

BMP or GIF) or a CAD file created by an architect

or contractor. You can even draw a floor plan

freehand based on a verbal description of the

building. LANPlanner helps you convert a floor

plan into an RF Intelligent Map that contains

embedded radio propagation properties.

To create your 3D building model, use the

Building Wizard

Building WizardBuilding Wizard

Building Wizard (located in the Format Building

Format BuildingFormat Building

Format Building

menu). The Building Wizard will prompt you

through the creation of your building model.

Step-by-step instructions for using the Building

Wizard can be found in the User’s Guide. In

short, you will specify the number of floors in

your building, import a scanned image or CAD

floor plan for each floor, then use the tools in the

Building Wizard to trace or convert walls and

other radio signal obstacles. Each wall you trace

or convert will be classified into one of the

LANPlanner partition types, which has associated

radio signal attenuation properties. As you trace

or convert each wall from a CAD drawing, its

height is also assigned, creating a 3D model. You

will need to specify the scale of each floor of the

building (or of some part of it) and indicate a

point of alignment for stacking the floors. When

you are finished using the Building Wizard, click

Assemble Building

Assemble BuildingAssemble Building

Assemble Building to validate your selections and

finalize your building model.

Designing your network

Designing your networkDesigning your network

Designing your network

Now that you have a 3D virtual model of your

building (the RF Intelligent Map), you are ready to

create a 3D virtual model (The RF Intelligent

Model) of a wireless network. For wireless LAN

applications this could be something as simple as

a co-located antenna directly attached to an

Access Point or more sophisticated detached

antennas connected to the Access Points.

LANPlanner supports the modeling of these and

many other wireless network equipment types

that you may wish to deploy, including the 3D

routing of cables through your virtual building

model.
