Parameter Description

Tx Power Level Assignment

Power Level Assignment Method

The controller’s dynamic power assignment mode.

Options: Automatic, On Demand, or Fixed

Default: Automatic

Power Level
Assignment
Method	Description
Automatic	Causes the controller to periodically evaluate and, if
	necessary, update the transmit power for all joined access
	points.
On Demand	Causes the controller to periodically evaluate the
	transmit power for all joined access points. However, the
	controller updates the power, if necessary, only when you
	click Invoke Power Update Now.
	Note The controller does not evaluate and update the
	transmit power immediately after you click
	Invoke Power Update Now. It waits for the next
	interval (default is 600 seconds).
Fixed	Prevents the controller from evaluating and, if necessary,
	updating the transmit power for joined access points. The
	power level is set to the fixed value chosen from the
	drop-down box.
	Note The transmit power level is assigned an integer
	value instead of a value in mW or dBm. The
	integer corresponds to a power level that varies
	depending on the regulatory domain in which the
	access points are deployed. See Step 5 on page
	9-25for information on available transmit power
	levels.

Note For optimal performance, Cisco recommends that you use the Automatic setting. Refer to the “Disabling Dynamic Channel and Power Assignment Globally for a Controller” section on page 9-27for instructions if you ever need to disable the controller’s dynamic settings.
