This option is useful when you add a new access point or change your network. 7. Click the Apply button. If enabled, the channel allocation occurs according to the configured schedule. Specify Radio Frequency Management Radio frequency (RF) management lets you specify the transmission power settings, WLAN healing settings, and coverage hole detection settings. Radio Frequency Concepts Radio frequency (RF) management optimizes the channel allocation for access points based on clients, user data traffic, and the nearby RF environment of access points. The wireless controller periodically checks the radio neighborhood maps and detects changes in the radio neighborhood maps or loss of connectivity to the wireless controller by an access point. WLAN healing is a special feature of RF management. When you use WLAN healing, if an access point goes down or loses connectivity, other access points share its load to avoid a Configure Wireless and QoS Settings 180
