Configures Adaptive Radio
Management (ARM) feature. See
rf arm-profile on page 738.
— “default”
beacon-period
Time, in milliseconds, between
successive beacon transmissions.
The beacon advertises the AP’s
presence, identity, and radio
characteristics to wireless clients.

millisecon
ds
beacon-regulate
Enabling this setting introduces
randomness in the beacon
generation so that multiple APs
on the same channel do not send
beacons at the same time, which
causes collisions over the air.

cap-reg-eirp
<cap-reg-eirp>
Work around a known issue on
Cisco 7921G telephones by
specifying a cap for a radio’s
maximum equivalent isotropic
radiated power (EIRP). When you
enable this parameter, even if the
regulatory approved maximum
for a given channel is higher than
this EIRP cap, the AP radio using
this profile will advertise only this
capped maximum EIRP in its radio
beacons.
1–31 dBm.
cell-size-reduction <cell-size-
reduction>
The cell size reduction feature
allows you manage dense deploy-
ments and to increase overall sys-
tem performance and capacity by
shrinking an AP’s receive coverage
area, thereby minimizing co-chan-
nel interference and optimizing
channel reuse. This value should
only be changed if the network is
experiencing performance issues.
The possible range of values for this
feature is 0-55 dB. The default 0 dB
reduction allows the radio to retain
its current default Rx sensitivity
value.
Values from 1 dB - 55 dB reduce the
power level that the radio can hear
by that amount. If you configure this
feature to use a non-default value,
you must also reduce the radio’s
transmission (Tx) power to match its
new received (Rx) power level. Fail-
ure to match a device’s Tx power
level to its Rx power level can result
in a configuration that allows the
radio to send messages to a device
