Table 17. RF Channel Plan and Power Adjustment

FieldDescription

Power Adjustment You can set the power of the AP radio frequency transmission in the AP

Modeprofile, the local database or in the RADIUS server. The power level in the AP profile is the default level for the AP, and the power will not be adjusted below the value in the AP profile.

The settings in the local database and RADIUS server always override power set in the profile setting. If you manually set the power, the level is fixed and the AP will not use the automatic power adjustment algorithm.

You can configure the power as a percentage of maximum power, where the maximum power is the minimum of power level allowed for the channel by the regulatory domain or the hardware capability.

•Manual—In this mode, you run the proposed power adjustments manually from the Manual Power Adjustments page.

•Interval—In this mode, the switch periodically calculates the power adjustments and applies the power for all APs. The interval period begins when you click Submit.

NOTE: If you set the power level in the local or RADIUS database, the settings override the power level set in the AP profile.

For more information about manually setting the power level, see “Configuring Wireless Radio Settings” on page 80 and “Configuring Valid Access Point Settings” on page 98.

Power Adjustment This field determines how often the switch runs the power adjustment

Intervalalgorithm. The algorithm runs automatically only if you set the power adjustment mode to Interval.
