318CHAPTER 14: CONFIGURING RF AUTO-TUNING

Changing the Power Tuning Interval

The default power tuning interval is 600 seconds. You can change the interval to a value from 1 to 65535 seconds. To change the power tuning interval, use the following command:

set radio-profile name auto-tune power-interval seconds

To set the power tuning interval for radios in radio profile rp2 to 240 seconds, type the following command:

WX1200# set radio-profile rp2 auto-tune power-interval 240 success: change accepted.

 

Changing the Maximum Default Power Allowed On a Radio

 

By default, the maximum power level that RF Auto-Tuning can set on a

 

radio is the same as the maximum power level allowed for the country of

 

operation. To change the maximum power level that RF Auto-Tuning can

 

assign, use the following command:

 

set ap apnumber radio {1 2} auto-tune max-power power-level

 

The power-levelcan be a value from 1 to 20.

 

To set the maximum power that RF Auto-Tuning can set on radio 1 on

 

the MAP on port 6 to 12 dBm, type the following command.

 

WX1200# set ap 6 radio 1 auto-tune max-power 12

 

success: change accepted.

 

 

Locking Down

You can convert dynamically assigned channels and power settings into

Tuned Settings

statically configured settings, by locking them down. When you lock

 

down channel or power settings, MSS converts the latest values set by RF

 

Auto-Tuning into static settings.

 

You can lock down channel or power settings on a radio-profile basis.

 

MSS implements the lock down by changing the set {ap dap} radio

 

channel or set {ap dap} radio tx-power command for each radio

 

managed by the radio profile.

 

To lock down channel or power settings, use the following commands:

set radio-profile name auto-tune channel-lockdown set radio-profile name auto-tune power-lockdown
