Abstract
A system for automatically selecting communication frequencies for wireless communication devices (e.g., base unit, access point, and controller) being added to an existing wireless network. The operating frequencies, evaluated signal strength, and loads are used in determining the most suitable operating frequency. This automatic selection process eliminates the problems inherent in manual frequency selection.
