Access Point Commands
ap port-list List of ports connected to the DWL-8220AP access points on which to
set the minimum data rate.
dap dap-num Number of a Distributed AP on which to set the minimum data rate.
dapauto Sets the radio mode for DWL-8220APs managed by the DWL-8220AP
configuration template.
radio 1 Radio 1 of the DWL-8220AP.
radio 2 Radio 2 of the DWL-8220AP.
rate Minimum data rate, in megabits per second (Mbps). The valid values
depend on the radio type:
• For 802.11g radios - 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 11, 9, 6, 5.5, 2, or 1
• For 802.11b radios - 11, 5.5, 2, or 1
• For 802.11a radios - 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, or 6
Defaults: The default minimum data transmit rate depends on the radio type:
• The default minimum data rate for 802.11b/g and 802.11b radios is
5.5Mbps.
• The default minimum data rate for 802.11a radios is 24 Mbps.
Access: Enabled.
Usage: If the data rate for traffic sent by a radio to an associated client falls below the
default minimum rate, the radio increases power, in 1 dBm increments, until
all clients are at or above the minimum rate.
After all clients are at or above the minimum data transmit rate, the radio
reduces power by 1 dBm. As long as the radio continues to transmit at the
minimum data rate or higher for all clients, the radio continues reducing
power in 1 dBm increments until it returns to its normal power level.
Note. A radio also can increase power, in 1 dBm increments, if more than the allowed
percentage of packets received by the radio from a client are retransmissions. After a radio
increases power, all clients must be at the minimum data rate or higher and the maximum
retransmissions must be within the allowed percentile, before the radio begins reducing
power again.
set {ap | dap} radio mode
Enables or disables a radio on a DWL-8220AP access point.
Syntax: set {ap port-list | dap {dap-num | auto}} radio {1 | 2} mode {enable | disable}
ap port-list List of ports connected to the DWL-8220AP access point(s) on which
to turn a radio on or off.
dap dap-num Number of a Distributed AP on which to turn a radio on or off.
