What Is RF
Auto-Tuning?
RF Auto-Tuning is a technique you can use to configure your RF (radio)
network. RF Auto-Tuning is a quick method that requires minimal
configuration and no RF planning or site surveys, and instead, relies on
the AutoTune feature to set MAP channels and power settings.
This is a great way to quickly install a WX switch and MAPs, and observe
how the network operates. The RF Auto-Tuning technique is best suited
to networks containing fewer MAPs.
To learn more about the benefits of RF Auto-Tuning, see “RF
Auto-Tuning” on page 32.
To use this technique:
1 Physically place your equipment (WX switches and MAPs) in their desired
locations.
2 Configure initial WX switch connectivity (configure IP addresses).
3 Upload the WX switch configuration into a 3WXM network plan.
4 Create a service profile.
5 Create a radio profile (or use the default radio profile).
6 Map your service profile to your radio profile.
7 Create your MAPs.
8 Apply a radio profile to each radio on a MAP.
9 Deploy your configuration.
