AP-7131N-FGR Access Point Product Reference Guide
select one of three power operating modes, 3af, 3at and full power. When an access point is
operating in either 3af or 3at mode, the transmit power is always lower than the full power setting.
With the introduction of the AP-7131N-FGR model access point, the power options available for dual
radio model access points has never been more diverse, and careful consideration must be made
before deploying the access point.
The AP's hardware design uses a complex programmable logic device (CPLD). When an AP is powered
on (or performing a cold reset), the CPLD determines the maximum power available to the AP by a
POE device. Once an operational power configuration is defined, the AP firmware can read the power
setting and configure operating characteristics based on the AP's SKU and power configuration. If the
POE cannot provide sufficient power (with all interfaces enabled), the following interfaces could be
disabled or modified:
• Radio transmit power could be reduced due to lack of sufficient power or the radio can be
disabled
• The WAN port configuration could be changed (enabled or disabled)
For information on configuring the access point's power configuration, see
Settings on page 4-6.

1.1.5 AMSDU Transmission Support

Aggregate MAC Service Data Unit (AMSDU) is an 802.11n specific MAC feature which enhances the
transmission of multiple MSDU contents wrapped within a single preamble/packet infrastructure.
The AMSDU transmission limit is set to 3839 bites by default.
For information on configuring AMSDU support for an access point radio, see
802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio on page

1.1.6 IPSec VPN Support

A VPN ensures data privacy between two end points, even while using a communication medium
which is itself insecure (like the Internet). VPNs create a secure tunnel between two end points as if
they are directly connected over a secure connection. Traffic is secured using a robust IPSec
encryption technique.
You can get the safety of a VPN in a WLAN by hosting the VPN server at the access point, and the
VPN client software on the MU. For that reason, a VPN provides secure WLAN access to MUs. A VPN
