Setting Default Description
Allowed
deviation for
client placement
4 dB
When VisualRF locates a client or rogue it utilizes signal metrics from all the
APs that hear the client or rogue device. VisualRF builds a fingerprint location
for all clients with similar transmit-power capability. All subsequent clients that
fall within the deviation is placed on the same location fingerprint or
x, y
coordinates.
Example: AP1 hears Client1 at -72, and AP2 hears Client 1 at -64. VisualRF
calculates the client’s location to be at coordinates 100, 200. Client2 is heard by
AP1 at -71 and AP2 at -65.
VisualRF will use the average of the difference in signals (AP1 -72 and -71) to
see if the client matches a pre-calculated location fingerprint. 1 + 1 (differences
in signals) / 2 (# of APs) = 1 which falls within the deviation of 2, hence the client
would be located at 100,200.
Maximum Rogue
APs per Floor
Plan
20
Sets the maximum number of rogues AirWave will place on a Floor. Use this
filter in combination with the RAPIDS Export Threshold configured on the
RAPIDS > Setup page to intelligently control the number of rogue devices
displayed per floor.
NOTE: Increasing this value can increase the load on the server and the clutter
on the screen.

Location Calculation Timer Settings
To tune the frequency for calculating device locations within the VisualRF UI, navigate to the Location Calculation
Timer Settings section. The available settings are described in Table 156:
Setting Default Description
Legacy Laptop
Min/Max (sec)
90/360
This timer determines how often to calculate the location for legacy laptop
devices. Taken with the data samples the calculation acts as follows:
l After the minimum timer (default is 90 seconds), check to see if the
number of data samples received from all APs that hear this client are
greater than or equal to the number of samples setting for legacy laptop
devices (default of 3 data samples).
l If so (Yes to question above), then recalculate the client device's location
based on the samples received.
l If not (No to the question above), then wait until the number of sample
setting is met before recalculating. If the number of samples is never met,
wait until the maximum timer (default is 360 seconds) and then
recalculate.
