OutputPower

Set this field if you need to conserve power consumption (especially for notebook

 

 

 

computers). This control changes the strength of the ZyAIR’s antenna gain or

 

 

 

transmission power. Antenna gain, measured in dBm (decibel relative units compared to

 

 

 

milliwatts), is the increase in coverage. Higher antenna gain improves the range of the

 

 

 

signal for better communications.

 

 

 

Select High to set the ZyAIR’s antenna to transmit at 17-dBm.

 

 

 

Select Medium-Highto set the ZyAIR’s antenna to transmit at 15-dBm.

 

 

 

Select Medium-Lowto set the ZyAIR’s antenna to transmit at 13-dBm.

 

 

 

Select Low to set the ZyAIR’s antenna to transmit at 11-dBm. This allows for the least

 

 

 

power consumption.
