Modifying Antenna Settings
Web: Setting the Antenna Mode and Transmit Power
Control Limits
The Port/Radio Settings window on the Configuration tab provides access to the
configuration settings for external antennas.
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
■ Tra n smit Limi t s : Sets the reduction in transmit power required for the
external antenna to conform with local regulations. (Default: 100% for all
channels)
• Low Channel: The percentage of full power allowed for low radio
channels.
• Mid Channel: The percentage of full power allowed for middle radio
channels.
• High Channel: The percentage of full power allowed for high radio
channels.
■ Antenna Mode: Sets the operation mode for the antenna type currently
attached to the access point. (Default: Diversity)
• Diversity: A diversity antenna system includes two identical antenna
elements that are both used to transmit and receive radio signals. The
access point’s antennas are diversity antennas. External diversity
antennas have two pigtail connections to the access point.
• Single: Non-diversity antennas with one antenna element that have
only a single pigtail cable connection to the access point. These
antennas attach to the access point’s right antenna connector. The
access point’s right antenna is the one on the side closest to the LED
indicators.
