NOTE:
A value of 15 for this parameter decreases the number of available data
slots by 1.
External Filters Delay
Leave the value of this parameter set to 0, regardless of whether optional filters are
installed.
Transmitter Output Power
Nations and regions may regulate transmitter output power. For example
◦ Both 900 MHz and 5.7 GHz modules come in connectorized versions, which
require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. In addition
to setting the power, the operator must set the “Antenna Gain – Cable Loss” so
the module can accurately report received power at the antenna.
◦ Legal maximum allowable transmitter output power and EIRP (Equivalent
Isotropic Radiated Power) in the 2.4 GHz frequency band varies by country and
region. The output power of series 9 2.4 GHz modules can be adjusted to meet
these national or regional regulatory requirements.
◦ Countries and regions that permit the use of the 5.4 GHz frequency band (CEPT
member states, for example), generally require equipment using the band to
have adjustable power.
The professional installer of Canopy equipment has the responsibility to
◦ maintain awareness of applicable regulations.
◦ calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module.
◦ confirm that the initial power setting is compliant consistent with national or
regional regulations.
◦ confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to
factory defaults.
For information on how to calculate the permissible transmitter output power to enter in
this parameter, see Adjusting Transmitter Output Power on Page 255.
Display-Only Access
If you set (populate) the Display-Only Access password, this password will allow only
viewing activities on the module.
This protection interacts with the Full Access password protection as follows:
◦ If the Display-Only Access password is set and the Full Access password
is not, then the Display-Only Access password allows
− telnet and FTP access to the module.
− viewing or changing the parameters of the module. This configuration is not
recommended.
