12-4 Enterprise WLAN Antenna Specification Guide
Within the Power Configuration field, an installation professional selects a power mode based on the
different power resources available to that access point’s SKU. For 3af and 3at, choose between Default
and Option as best suited to that hardware SKU. For example, if Option is selected for 3af Power, and
the access point is a dual radio model, the following configuration is set:
LAN port ON (1000 BASE T)
WAN port OFF
Radio 1 (2.4) on, 2x3 mode with maximum transmit power 18dBm
Radio 2 (5.0) on, 2x3 mode with maximum transmit power 18dBm
9. For this example, set the Power Mode to Auto (if not already defined as Auto by default). Leave the 3af
and 3at Power settings as Default.
When the access point 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. Therefore, the Auto
power mode option affords the professional installer a smaller margin of error for legally setting the
access point’s transmit output power. If changes are made, reboot the access point.
10.Select Network Configuration > Wireless > Radio Configuration > Radio1 or Radio 2 from the
access point menu tree.
NOTE: Ensure the access point is connected to its expected power supply (3af, 3at or Full
Power). Check available access point power by reviewing the Power Status field within
the Power Settings screen (this value is cable length dependent). Compare available
power to the Maximum Transmit Power vs POE table below. If available supply power
does not allow the desired transmit power, then increase the supply power.
Maximum Possible Transmit Power
Power Status 2.4 GHz 5.2 GHz
3af +20 +19
3at +23 +20
Full Power +23 +20
