After setting a power level, channel, and placement the RF output power for the Access Port is
displayed below in mW.

Antenna Diversity 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
Full Diversity
Maximum Clients Sets the maximum number of Clients that can associate to a radio. The maximum number of stations that can
associate to a radio are 256.
Adoption Preference ID The Adoption Preference ID defines the preference ID of the switch.The value can be set between 1 and 65535. To
make the radios preferred, the Access Port preference ID should be the same as adoption preference ID.
The adoption preference id is used for RP load-balancing. A switch will preferentially adopt Access Ports, which have
the same adoption-preference-id as the switch itself.

The optimal power level for the specified channel is best determined by a site survey prior to
installation. Available settings are determined according to the selected channel. Set a higher
power level to ensure RF coverage in WLAN environments that have more electromagnetic
interference or greater distances between the Access Port and Clients. Decrease the power
level according to the proximity of other Access Ports. Overlapping RF coverage may cause lost
packets and difficulty for roaming devices trying to engage an Access Port. After setting a
power level, channel, and placement the RF output power for the Access Port is displayed in
mW. Default is 20 dBm (802.11bg), or 17 dBm (802.11a)
