RF coverage in WLAN environments that have more electromagnetic interference or greater distances
between the Access Port and MUs. Decrease the power level according to the proximity of other Access
Ports. Overlapping RF coverage may cause lost packets and problems for roaming devices trying to
connect to an Access Port. After setting a power level, channel and placement the RF output power for
the Access Port is displayed in mW. The default is 20 dBm (802.11bg), 17 dBm (802.11a).
NOTE: After setting a power level, channel and placement, the RF output power for the
Access Port displays in mW.

Use the drop-down menu to configure the Antenna Diversity settings for Access
Ports using external antennas. Options include:
• Full Diversity - Utilizes both antennas to provide antenna diversity.
• Primary Only - Enables only the primary antenna.
• Secondary Only - Enables only the secondary antenna.
Antenna Diversity should only be enabled if the Access Port has two matching
external antennas. Default value is
Sets the maximum number of MUs that can associate to a radio. The maximum
number of MUs that can associate to a radio is 64.
Displays the preference ID of the switch.The value can be set between 1 and 65535.
To define the radios as preferred, the Access Port preference ID should be same as
adoption preference ID.
The adoption preference ID is used for AP load-balancing. A switch will
preferentially adopt APs which have the same adoption-preference-ID as the
switch itself.
