Section 2

The selected floor map will be displayed layer by layer.
The display angle of the floor maps can be controlled using the angle adjustment buttons on the bottom right.
Each floor map shows the icons of the APs placed and the walls created in the individual floor map detail view. When the APs are wirelessly connected by AWC-SC, the connection status between the APs is indicated by a gray link line and a healthiness icon.
The healthiness icon indicates the strength of the signal between APs by the number of ripples in the icon.

Table 2: Healthiness Icons
Number of bars | Power
--- | ---
| 4 | -57dBm or greater
| 3 | -62 to -58dBm
| 2 | -69 to -63dBm
| 1 | -79 to -70dBm
| 0 | -80dBm or less

When you place your mouse cursor on an AP, management information of the AP will pop up.

- Wireless AP Name
- MAC Address
- IP Address

In addition, when the AP list is displayed, the row corresponding to the AP icon on which the mouse pointer is placed will be highlighted in blue.

Section 3

Floor maps / wireless AP list will be displayed. You can switch between the floor map list and the wireless AP list using the tabs at the top of the list.
Place the mouse pointer on any line in the floor map list to highlight the corresponding floor map in the layered view.
Also, when you place the mouse pointer on any line of the wireless AP list, the corresponding wireless AP icon on the floor map will be highlighted with a blue dot.

Edit (pencil icon) | The "Edit 3D Map Settings" dialog box will appear. ◼ Edit 3D Map Settings Origin X[m]: Adjusts the horizontal position of the origin (upper left) of the floor map image by an integer from -1000 to 1000 (unit: meter). The larger the value, the more it moves to the right, and the smaller the value, the more it moves to the left, based on the horizontal rotation axis of the picture angle adjustment button. The default is 0 (meter). Origin Y[m]: Adjusts the vartical position of the origin (upper left) of the floor map image by an integer from -1000 to 1000 (unit: meter). The larger the value, the more it moves downwards, and the smaller the value, the more it moves upwards, based on the horizontal rotation axis of the picture angle adjustment button. The default is 0 (meter). Ceiling Height[m]: Specify the floor height by an integer from 1 to 100 (in meters). The default is 10 (meters). This setting is reflected in the drawing spacing from the floor above in the 3D floor map. It does not affect the simulation of radio wave strength in the heat map. The default is 10 (meters). "Save" button: saves the configuration changes and closes the Edit 3D Map Settings dialog box. "Cancel" button: discards the configuration changes and closes the Edit 3D Map Settings dialog box.
