1.7.4. Power Adjustment
To check power level, select the WLAN tab from the navigation panel and click Monitoring Æ
Access Points Æ Managed Access Points. Select Radio Details tab to check the power level.
The Automatic Power Adjustment algorithm works by setting the initial power of the AP to the
value specified in the AP profile. The power is then periodically adjusted to a level based on
presence or absence of packet transmission errors. The power is changed in increments of 10%.
Automatic adjustment can be done by selecting the Automatic Power in the Radio tab of the
Basic Setup. By default this parameter is enabled. The algorithm may be triggered by a periodic
timer or manually.
Note: The algorithm never reduces the AP power below the initial power setting as specified in
the profile and since the default power level in the default profile is 100 percent, the power would
never be reduced unless this value is first changed.
The power adjustment may be manually triggered by selecting the WLAN tab from the
navigation panel and traversing down to Administration Æ AP Management Æ RF
Management. Select the Manual Power Adjustments tab and then the Start button to start the
process (click the Apply button to apply new power adjustment)
You may change the power of the AP radio by selecting the Radio tab of the Basic Setup and
changing the Initial Power to the desired setting and click on submit.
Note: Any changes to the radio setting must be applied to the AP. To do this, click
Administration Æ Advanced Configuration Æ AP Profiles. Select the profile to apply, then
click Apply to update all APs that use the selected profile.
