Wireless Interface Configuration

Modifying Antenna Settings

When using an external antenna with the access point, you must configure the

radio for the type of external antenna that is attached: either Diversity or

Single. Also, the access point’s transmit power must be limited to conform to

local regulations.

When using the access point’s included diversity antennas, the default antenna

settings should be used. The default antenna mode is Diversity and the default

transmit power reduction value is set to zero.

For more information on using an external antenna with the access point, refer

to the Installation and Getting Started Guide and the specific product

antenna manuals.

Web: Setting the Tx Power Reduction

The Radio screen, shown in Figure 6-8, enables you to configure the following

settings for adjusting the transmit power reduction values:

■ Max Tx Power: The maximum power that the current radio mode

supports. (The default is maximum power.)

■ Tx Power Reduction: Adjusts the amount of attenuation applied to the

selected radio. This value is in dBm. The radio operates at maximum

power when this parameter is set to 0 dB. It may be necessary to apply Tx

Power Reduction if your antenna gain causes the radio power to exceed

the regulatory domain limit. You may also want to apply Tx Power

Reduction to avoid overlap with another access point coverage area. (The

default is 0.)

■ [Update]: Updates the transmit power parameter.
