Configure AP300 Software
You can configure both the power source the AP300 will use and the channel width the AP300
will use. The default power source is 802.3af, and the default channel width is 20 MHz; these
are the lowest (and slowest) settings. Increase range and throughput by changing MIMO mode
to 3x3. The power supply option that you select determines whether or not you can use 3x3
MIMO. Be sure to change the power supply setting to either a DC power supply (provided) or a
802.11at PoE before changing MIMO mode to 3x3.
Configure AP300 Using the CLI
Use the CLI command configure ap to set the Power Supply Type and configure interface
Dot11Radio to set the Channel Width, and MIMO Mode. For example:
1. Access the controller from a browser by entering the IP address of the controller.
2. Switch to configuration mode by entering terminal configuration at the CLI prompt. The
prompt changes to controller name (config).
3. Select an AP by entering the command ap #. For example:
