What’s Next? A 3WXM network plan can support both RF Auto-Tuning and RF Planning techniques at the same time. You can use RF Auto-Tuning to meet the demands of rapid network changes that can be caused by a greater or lesser number of users, or by a physical blockage of MAPs. You are alerted when changes occur in your network of this nature.

„To fine tune your network’s RF coverage area and performance, see “Optimizing a Network Plan” on page 177.

„To deploy your network plan and enable and configure monitoring, see “Managing and Monitoring Your Network” on page 153.
