HP Manager Software manual Transmit Power box, specify the transmit power for the radio

Configuring Directly Connected MAP Access Points 255

To indicate the direction of the antenna’s coverage, change the value in the Directionality of antenna box. The default value of 0 degrees directs the antenna’s coverage to the right on the floor plan. For example, to move the coverage 90 degrees (so that the antenna’s area of coverage faces downward as you view the floor plan), type 90 in the box.

You can verify and change the antenna’s coverage direction after you finish using this wizard. To verify the antenna’s coverage, select the MAP on the floor plan, right-click, and select Show RF Coverage and the radio type from the dropdown list. To adjust the coverage, select the MAP, right-click, and select Edit Properties from the dropdown list to display the Modify MAP or Modify DAP wizard. In the wizard, click Next to display the configuration page for the radio, and edit the value in the Directionality of antenna box.

3WXM assumes that the external antenna will be installed so that the front faces in the direction of coverage (not up or down), and so that the antenna cable connector faces down or up and not to the side. 3WXM also assumes that the antenna does not provide any coverage behind itself.

The Antenna Type and Directionality of antenna boxes appear only if the MAP model supports an external antenna.

aTo change the maximum power level RF Auto-Tuning can assign to the radio, select the power level from the Max. Transmit Power pull-down list.
