Power setting

In versions before LCOS 10.30, the current WLAN transmission power could be reduced by a fixed, configured value. This made it possible to adapt the WLAN cell size to the requirements of any particular scenario. This method reaches its limits in the case of a professional WLAN where a value has been set for the actual maximum wireless transmission power and, at the same time, clients should automatically change between the channels of the different 5-GHz subbands. For example, higher transmission powers are permitted in the 5-GHz subband 2 than in subband 1. The fixed reduction in transmission power would be applied to the higher transmission power in subband 2 and also to the lower transmission power permitted in subband 1. This would result in cells of different sizes, depending on the subband selected. As of LCOS 10.30, the actual maximum transmission power can be set as an absolute value, which means that the cell size is always the same, irrespective of the maximum permitted transmission power.

Note: Under no circumstances will the access point exceed the legal limits for transmission power. These are always respected automatically, regardless of the settings made here.
SNMP ID:
2.23.20.8.33 
Telnet path:
Setup > Interfaces > WLAN > Radio-settings
Possible values:
Automatic
The maximum permitted transmission power that can be realized by the hardware of the access point is used.
Manual
The desired transmission power is to be set in dBm in the EIRP field.
Note: If the hardware of the access point is not capable of the desired transmission power, the maximum possible value is set automatically. The actual value can be checked in LANmonitor or on the CLI by means of the command show wlan.
Default:
Automatic
