Configuring MAPs 247

The maximum transmit power you can configure on any 3Com radio is the highest setting allowed for the country of operation or the highest setting supported on the hardware, whichever is lower.

To configure the 802.11b radio on port 1 for channel 1 with a transmit power of 10 dBm, type the following command:

WX1200# set ap 1 radio 1 channel 1 tx-power 10 success: change accepted.

To configure the 802.11a radio on port 5 for channel 36 with a transmit power of 10 dBm, type the following command:

WX1200# set ap 5 radio 2 channel 36 tx-power 10 success: change accepted.

You also can change the channel and transmit power on an individual basis.
