title: Manually reform a link between devices
description: It may be necessary to reform the link between two devices, if the current link is performing suboptimally. This process is known as rebeamforming. The recommended mechanism for rebeamforming is AltoCommand's intelligent rebeamforming, which will automatically sense when a link needs to be rebeamformed based on configurable parameters. Alternatively, you can manually reform the beam.

# Manually reform a link between devices

It may be necessary to reform the link between two devices, if the current link is performing suboptimally. This process is known as rebeamforming. The recommended mechanism for rebeamforming is AltoCommand's [intelligent rebeamforming](https://support.altowav.com/enable-intelligent-rebeamforming.html?hsLang=en-us), which will automatically sense when a link needs to be rebeamformed based on configurable parameters. Alternatively, you can manually reform the beam.

To manually rebeamform a link:

1. Open the AltoCommand WebUI:
   
   In your browser's address bar, type:
   
   **https://*hostname***
   
   where *hostname* is the fully qualified domain name of the AltoCommand server.
2. Log into the WebUI as a user with admin privileges.

   The default username is **admin**
   
   The default password is **admin**
3. From the menu bar, click **Devices**.
4. Click the **Links** tab.
5. Click the **Menu** icon () at the end of the device's row.
