102CHAPTER 4: USING RF AUTO-TUNING

Apply a Radio

When you create a MAP, a new radio (or radios, depending upon the type

Profile to Each

of MAP created) are added into 3WXM. The radios use the default radio

Radio

profile in 3WXM unless you create a new radio profile and apply it to

 

each radio on the MAP.

 

For more information about creating a radio profile, see “Create a Radio

 

Profile and Map the Service Profile to It” on page 98. For more

 

information about creating an MAP, see “Create Your MAPs” on

 

page 99.

To apply a radio profile to a radio

1Select the Configuration tool bar option.

2In the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch.

3Click the plus sign next to Wireless.

4Select Radio Profiles.

5In the Radio Profiles table, select the radio profile.

6Click Properties.

7Click the Radio Selection tab.

8Select the radios in the Available Members list and click Move.

9Click OK.

You have completed the necessary steps for configuring your RF environment.

What’s Next? After you create your services (“Configuring Wireless Services” on page 49) and following the instructions in this chapter to create your RF environment, you need to deploy your configuration and enable monitoring. Optionally, you can improve your network monitoring options by modelling your floor and defining RF obstacles.

„For information about monitoring your network, see “Managing and Monitoring Your Network” on page 153.

„For information about enhancing RF Auto-Tuning with modelling to better define your site and improve monitoring options, see “Using RF Auto-Tuning with Modelling” on page 103.
