USING RF AUTO-TUNING WITH

 

 

MODELLING

What Is RF

RF Auto-Tuning with modelling is a technique you can use to configure

Auto-Tuning with

and implement your network that builds on the RF Auto-Tuning method.

Modelling?

You will, as the name implies, still use RF Auto-Tuning (auto tuning) to

 

adjust power and channel settings to provide RF signals to the coverage

 

area for your users. You’ll then enhance the auto tuning feature by

 

providing modelling information about your geographic location.

 

To use this technique, you will complete the tasks described in “Using RF

 

Auto-Tuning” on page 95. Then, you’ll complete the following steps in

 

your network plan:

1Add site information (buildings and floors) or import a floor drawing

2Add RF obstacles (optional)

3Add an RF coverage area

By providing some information about your buildings and floors, you add enough details into 3WXM so that you can better visualize your network topology and support improved monitoring at your site.

To learn more about the benefits of RF Auto-Tuning with modelling, see “RF Auto-Tuning with Modelling” on page 30.
