2.4 Designing a New Network
ProSoft Wireless Designer uses a setup wizard to gather the information it needs
to recommend the components required by your wireless network.
To design a new network
1 Start ProSoft Wireless Designer.
2 On the splash screen, choose Design a New Network.
Tip: If ProSoft Wireless Designer is already running, open the File menu, and then choose New.
3 Enter the network name (page 37). Choose an informative name to identify
the location and purpose for the network, and then click OK to continue.
4 On the first wizard page, choose the environment: indoor or outdoor. This
choice determines the type of antennas and other components to use.
5 Choose the radio type from the dropdown list.
o Chose "I don't know" if you would like ProSoft Wireless Designer to
recommend the radio based on your answers on the next wizard pages,
for example Ethernet or Serial, and with or without 802.11x connectivity.
o
If you already know the type of radio to use, select the radio part number
from the dropdown list.
6 Choose the country or region where the radio will be installed. Each country
or region where these radios are sold has its own regulations for frequency
range, channels, and output power for wireless networks.
7 Chose whether to draw the network to scale, or to let you arrange the
network yourself.
8 Review the wizard summary for correctness, and then click Finish to add the
first site (radio) to your network.
