Automatic RF Channel and Power Settings
IntelliFi RF Management (IRM) is a radio frequency (RF) resource allocation algorithm that you
can enable and configure in the WFS709TP system. When IRM is enabled, each AP can determine
the optimum channel selection and transmitter power setting to minimize interference and
maximize coverage and throughput. The APs scan for better channels at periodic intervals and
report information to the WFS709TP. The WFS709TP analyzes reports from all APs and
coordinates changes, resulting in a higher-performance RF environment.
If an AP fails for any reason, the system’s self-healing mechanism automatically ensures coverage
for wireless users. The WFS709TP detects the failed AP and instructs neighboring APs to increase
power levels to compensate.
