What Is Auto-RF?

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