Using an External Antenna
with the Access Point 420
3. To set the antenna power limits, type transmit-limits followed by the low,
middle, and high channel settings as given for the antenna and region in
the Transmit Power Control Settings table for that radio mode (b; g; b and
g).
For example, when using the 6.5 dBi Indoor/Outdoor Directional Diversity
antenna (J8445A) in North America with the access point set to dual (b
and g) mode, the TPC settings table for dual mode (see page 4-7) indicates
the following settings are required: 50% for the low channel, 100% for the
middle channel, and 56% for the high channel.
For this example, type the following command:
HP420(if-wireless g)#transmit-limits 50 100 56
