NOTES:
1. With Mars, MTI, or Maxrad antenna. This is the default setting, and 28 dBm is the highest settable
value. The lower default correlates to 36 dBm EIRP where 10-dBi antennas are used. The default
setting for this parameter is applied whenever Set to Factory Defaults is selected.
2. In a typical case, set the Transmitter Output Power parameter in the AP to the maximum allowed.
This provides the greatest range for both overall operation and 3X operation. Where full power is not
necessary, or where the OFDM network is likely to interfere with a nearby network,
incrementally reduce the setting and monitor RF performance.
