Introduction
Altitude 35x0 Access Point Product Reference Guide16
Transmit Power Control
The access point has a configurable power level for each radio. This enables the network administrator
to define the antenna’s transmission power level in respect to the access point’s placement or network
requirements as defined in the site survey.
Advanced Event Logging Capability
The access point provides the capability for periodically logging system events. Logging events is useful
in assessing the throughput and performance of the access point or troubleshooting problems on the
access point managed Local Area Network (LAN).
Configuration File Import/Export Functionality
Configuration settings for an access point can be downloaded from the current configuration of another
access point. This affords the administrator the opportunity to save the current configuration before
making significant changes or restoring the default configuration.
Default Configuration Restoration
The access point has the ability to restore its default configuration or a partial default configuration
(with the exception of current WAN and SNMP settings). Restoring the default configuration is a good
way to create new WLANs if the MUs the access point supports have been moved to different radio
coverage areas.
DHCP Support
The access point can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain a leased IP address and
configuration information from a remote server. DHCP is based on the BOOTP protocol and can coexist
or interoperate with BOOTP. Configure the access point to send out a DHCP request searching for a
DHCP/BOOTP server to acquire HTML, firmware or network configuration files when the access point
boots. Because BOOTP and DHCP interoperate, whichever responds first becomes the server that
allocates information.
The access point can be set to only accept replies from DHCP or BOOTP servers or both (this is the
default setting). Disabling DHCP disables BOOTP and DHCP and requires network settings to be set
manually. If running both DHCP and BOOTP, do not select BOOTP Only. BOOTP should only be used
when the server is running BOOTP exclusively.
The DHCP client automatically sends a DHCP request at an interval specified by the DHCP server to
renew the IP address lease as long as the access point is running (this parameter is programmed at the
DHCP server). For example: Windows 2000 servers typically are set for 3 days.
Multi-Function LEDs
An model access point has seven LED indicators. Four LEDs exist on the top of the and are visible
from wall, ceiling and table-top orientations. Three of these four LEDs are single color activity LEDs,
and one is a multi-function red and white status LED. Two LEDs exist on the rear of the access point
