Chapter 8 Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Points
Changing the Lightweight Access Point Output Power
Step 7 In the Tx Power Level field, select the appropriate power level setting (1 to 8).
Based on the configured antenna gain, the configured channel, and the configured power level, the actual
transmit power at the access point can be reduced so that the specific country regulations are not
exceeded.
Table 8-3 lists the controller power settings and the corresponding output power levels for this example:
• 2.4-GHz (802.11b/g) operation:
– EMEA (–E) regulatory domain and channel 2
– 5.2-dBi external antenna
• The manual controller Tx Power Level setting is 3 for 802.11b (CCK) data rates (see Table 8-2).
• The manual controller Tx Power Level setting is 2 for only 802.11g (OFDM) data rates (see
Table 8-2).
Step 8 Click Apply.
Step 9 Close your Internet browser.
For additional configuration information, refer to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration
Guide.

1. The Tx Power Level setting of 1 represents the maximum conducted power setting
for the access point. Each subsequent power level (such as 2, 3, 4, etc.) represents
an approximate 3-dBm reduction in transmit power from the previous power level.
