Refer to the following to assess the AP-7131’s current power state. Once known, determine
how available power resources are applied to the access point’s radios.
2. Click Apply to save any changes to the Power Settings screen. Navigating away from the
screen without clicking the Apply button results in all changes to the screen being lost.
3. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the
settings displayed on the Power Settings screen to the last saved configuration.
4. Click Logout to securely exit the access point Access Point applet. A prompt displays
confirming the logout before the applet is closed.
4.3 Adaptive AP Setup
An access point needs settings defined to discover (and adopt) an available switch and establish a
connection and data tunnel. It’s through this switch adoption that the access point receives its
adaptive AP (AAP) configuration. An AP-7131 has a screen to define the mechanisms used to adopt
a switch and route AAP configuration information
.
Power Mode When the AP-7131 is powered on for the first time, the system
determines the power budget available to the access point. Using
the
Auto setting (default setting), the access point automatically
determines the best power configuration based on the available
power budget.
If
3af is selected, the AP assumes 12.95 watts are available.
If the mode is changed, the access point will require a reset to
implement the change.
Power Status Refer to this field to review the power available to the access point.
For information on power levels, refer to the Available Power table
on page 6.
NOTE For an AAP overview and a theoretical discussion of how an access point
discovers a switch to creates a secure data tunnel for adaptive AP
operation, see Adaptive AP on page 10-1.
NOTE AAP functionality is only supported on a Motorola WS5100 model switch
(running firmware version 3.1) or higher and a Motorola RFS7000 model
switch (running firmware version 1.1 or higher).
