1-18 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide
Associated MU stats can be displayed collectively and individually for specific MUs. An echo (ping)
test is also available to ping specific MUs to assess association strength. Finally, the access point
can detect and display the properties of other APs detected within the access point's radio coverage
area. The type of AP detected can be displayed as well as the properties of individual APs.
For detailed information on available access point statistical displays and the values they represent,
see Monitoring Statistics on page 7-1.

1.2.18 Transmit Power Control

The access point has a configurable power level for each radio. This enables the network
administrator to define the antenna's transmission power level in respect to the access point's
placement or network requirements as defined in the access point site survey.
For detailed information on setting the radio transmit power level, see Configuring the 802.11a or
802.11b/g Radio on page 5-47.

1.2.19 Advanced Event Logging Capability

The access point provides the capability for periodically logging system events. Logging events is
useful in assessing the throughput and performance of the access point or troubleshooting problems
on the access point managed Local Area Network (LAN).
For detailed information on access point events, see Logging Configuration on page 4-34.

1.2.20 Configuration File Import/Export Functionality

Configuration settings for an access point can be downloaded from the current configuration of
another access point. This affords the administrator the opportunity to save the current configuration
before making significant changes or restoring the default configuration.
For detailed information on importing or exporting configuration files, see Importing/Exporting
Configurations on page 4-36.

1.2.21 Default Configuration Restoration

The access point has the ability to restore its default configuration or a partial default configuration
with the exception of current WAN and SNMP settings. Restoring the default configuration is a good
way to create new WLANs if the MUs the access point supports have been moved to different radio
coverage areas.
