    AP-730 and AP-755 use AOS-10 which required Aruba Central and Airwave does not support AOS10. You should be able to check Airwave supported device/OS matrix and you'll find that AP-730s and 750s are not listed.

    Hi Thanks for the reply. What option do we have to create heatmap and design new  wifi network using 735 and 755 APs. 

    Thanks in advance

    if you were planning to use Airwave's visual RF for a predictive heat map, you can still use it but use AP-635 and  AP-655 instead, to get the feel for it.

    or you can use VisualRF in Aruba Central to see the predictive heatmap.

    [crossed with the post above; think content is mostly in a similar line]

    I believe most customers that do RF planning on a regular bases use a dedicated/specialized planning tool like Ekahau/Hamina/Airmagnet.

    You can also use the RF planner that is part of HPE Aruba Networking Central, start an evaluation if you don't have an account yet. Or if you insist on using Airwave (not recommended), use the 635 and 655 to plan with and hope that coverage is similar enough between those models.
