5.3.3 Set Transmitted Power Level
It is good practice to match received power levels by adjusting transmitted powers if
co-located systems are being installed. This is important to avoid interference
between co-located systems. An attenuator can be fitted between the Outdoor Unit
and the antenna if the power level cannot be sufficiently reduced. The dBm output at
the OU N-type connector (socket) levels are set via the NMS or using a SNMP
Management application.
