The Auto-RF technique isbest suited to networks containing fewer APs.To learn more about the benefits of Auto-RF, refer to “Auto-RF” on page 37.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.What Is Auto-RF? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 101Place the Equipment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 102Configure Initial WSS Connectivity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 102Upload the WSS Configuration into a WMS Network Plan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 102Create a Service Profile . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 103Create a Radio Profile and Map the Service Profile to It . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 104Create Your APs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 104Apply a Radio Profile to Each Radio . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 107What’s Next? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 108
