Installing LANPlanner is much like installing any other Microsoft Windows software. However, LANPlanner
uses electronic license control, so an extra activation ste 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.

To install LANPlanner, lease follow these ste s in the order resented:
1. Close any rograms running within Windows before starting the installation rocess.
2. Log on as ‘Administrator’ or as a user with administrative or ower user rivileges.
3. Insert the LANPlanner roduct CD into the CD drive.
4. If Autorun is activated on your com uter, the setu rogram will start automatically. Otherwise, run
SETUP.EXE from the root folder on the roduct CD.
5. Read the warnings and the license agreement. You must acce t the license agreement to continue.
6. Enter the user information, including your name, the name of your com any and your serial number.
You will find the Software Serial number on either your rinted manual or the face of the installation
CD (it is a 9-digit number in the form of xxx-xx-xxxx). If you downloaded the software through a
link rovided by Motorola, lease refer to the email containing the link for your serial number.
7. Choose the destination folder where the rogram files will be stored on the hard drive. We
recommend you acce t the default folder name. If you choose a hard drive other than the default C:
drive, be sure to also ty e in a directory name; e.g. click on your D: drive and then ty e in \Program
Files\LANPlanner\.
8. Click Next to begin the installation rocess.
9. When setu is com lete, you are ready to run the software by going to the Windows Start Menu and

Now that you have installed the software, you can
begin designing your wireless network. This
Quick Start Guide rovides a summary of the
basic ste s in formatting a building, so that you
can more easily com lete your first roject. You
can refer to the full LANPlanner User’s Guide for
detailed information about each ste in the
rocess. The basic ste s in executing a
LANPlanner roject are:
• Create a 3D virtual model of your building
or cam us: the “RF Intelligent Ma ”.
• 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 erformance
criteria are met.
• Document the design with a bill of materials
and full design re ort.
Modeling your building or cam us
Modeling your building or cam usModeling your building or cam us
Modeling your building or cam us
LANPlanner makes it easy to create a 3D virtual
model of your building environment. The 3D
model you will create consists of radio signal
ro agation 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 lan. You can use a digital
scan of a a er floor lan (e.g. a fire esca e lan
scanned into a digital icture format such as JPG,
BMP or GIF) or a CAD file created by an architect
or contractor. You can even draw a floor lan
freehand based on a verbal descri tion of the
building. LANPlanner hel s you convert a floor
lan into an RF Intelligent Ma that contains
embedded radio ro agation ro erties.
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 rom t you
through the creation of your building model.
Ste -by-ste instructions for using the Building
Wizard can be found in the User’s Guide. In
short, you will s ecify the number of floors in
your building, im ort a scanned image or CAD
floor lan 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 artition ty es, which has associated
radio signal attenuation ro erties. As you trace
or convert each wall from a CAD drawing, its
height is also assigned, creating a 3D model. You
will need to s ecify the scale of each floor of the
building (or of some art of it) and indicate a
oint of alignment for stacking the floors. When
you are finished using the Building Wizard, click
Assemble Building

Assemble Building to validate your selections and
finalize your building model.

Now that you have a 3D virtual model of your
building (the RF Intelligent Ma ), you are ready to
create a 3D virtual model (The RF Intelligent
Model) of a wireless network. For wireless LAN
a lications this could be something as sim le as
a co-located antenna directly attached to an
Access Point or more so histicated detached
antennas connected to the Access Points.
LANPlanner su orts the modeling of these and
many other wireless network equi ment ty es
that you may wish to de loy, including the 3D
routing of cables through your virtual building
model.
