Why RF Management?
Radio Frequency (RF) technology used in today’s 802.11-based wireless networking devices 
poses an attractive target for intruders. If left un-managed, RF devices can leave your wireless 
(and wired) network open to a variety of outside threats, from Denial of Service (DoS) to 
network security breaches. 
In order to help secure your SonicPoint Wireless Access Point (AP) stations, SonicWALL takes 
a closer look at these threats. By using direct RF management, SonicWALL helps detect threats 
without interrupting the current operation of your wireless or wired network. 
Benefits
SonicWALL RF Management provides real-time threat monitoring and management of 
SonicPoint radio frequency traffic. In addition to its real-time threat management capabilities, 
SonicWALL RF Management provides network administrators a system for centralized 
collection of RF threats and traffic statistics; offering a way to easily manage RF capabilities 
directly from the SonicWALL security appliance gateway
