Real-Time MapsNEW!

Real-time network heat maps use a color spectrum, ranging from warm to cool, to illustrate real-time device signal strength throughout a building floor plan. Warm colors represent a stronger signal strength. Cool colors represent a weaker signal strength.

ExtremeCloud‌ IQ supports the following map type views:

Wi-Fi Map
IoT Map

Note

Maps generated within the Manage > Planning section are visible in real-time maps.

With ExtremeCloud‌ IQ real-time network heat maps, you can adjust thresholds and change color schemes.

Use this task to view real-time nework data coverage.

Go to Manage > Real Time Maps.
From the Global View location list, select a floor.

Note
The selected floor must include a floor plan. For more information, see Add a Floor Plan.
From the floor view pane, select Map Type.

To view the heat map for Wi-Fi devices, select Wi-Fi, configure the following Wi-Fi map settings, and then select Show map.

Table 1. Wi-Fi Map Settings
Map Type	Radio Frequency
RSSI	2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz
Coverage Overlap	2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz
Channel	All frequencies: 2.4 GHz, 5GHz, and 6 GHz

To view the heat map for IoT devices, select IoT, and then select Show map.

Note
IoT heat maps support RSSI Map Types and 2.4 GHz radio frequencies only.
To view AP device details, select an AP on the map.
The device information popup window shows Wi-Fi details specific to that device. For detailed device information, select the AP Name. For more information, see Device Details Overview.

Select

to set Wi-Fi coverage thresholds, configure threshold settings, and then select Apply.

Thresholds provide a visual to see where coverage is optimal, acceptable, and where improvements are needed.

Table 2. Wi-Fi Coverage Threshold Settings
Threshold	Description
Excellent	Above this set threshold, for example -30 dBm, the signal is considered excellent.
Good	Near this set threshold, for example -67 dBm, the signal is considered good.
Medium	Near this set threshold, for example 72 dBm, the signal is considered medium.
Poor	Below this set threshold, for example -90 dBm, the signal is considered poor.

To change the color scheme, select and select a new color scheme.

Note
The Select Color Map icon might display different colors, depending on the last colour scheme selected.
Select + to zoom in, and - to zoom out. Select and drag the map to move within the window.

Note
When you zoom in or out, the scale of the heatmap changes in real time below the zoom icons. The scale represents the relationship between the displayed area on the heatmap and the original map scale.
