Radio power-level setting example
You need to get the HP Antennas Power-Level Setting Guide available online from:
www.hp.com/networking/support. Search for the part number of your antenna.
In this example, an optional HP antenna J8997A is to be used on an autonomous MSM AP
configured for 802.11g in the USA. Per the Maximum RF Power Setting chart screenshot
below, the intersection of row UNITED STATES and column 802.11g Mode/J8997A,
indicates that the maximum radio power level is 15 dBm. (Please check the actual charts in
the HP Antennas Power-Level Setting Guide for current values).
Set the maximum power level of 15 dBm as follows (MSM310 used as example):
1. Launch the MSM AP management tool and log in.
2. Select Wireless > Radio.
3. For Wireless mode, select 802.11g.
4. Set Antenna gain to the gain of the attached antenna.
5. Select Advanced wireless settings to expand the dialog box.
6. Under Transmit power control disable Maximum available output power.
