Max Tx Power - Click the maximum Tx power level that the range of transmit power can be
adjusted: 0 to 23 dBm. It is recommended to use 23 dBm to not limit the potential Tx power level
range that can be used.
Min Tx Power - If ATPC is enabled, click the Tx power level that the range of transmit power can
be adjusted. It is recommended to use the lowest value available to not limit the potential Tx
power level range that can be used.
NOTE
The Minimum Tx Power level is subject to the regulatory compliance requirement for the selected country.
Auto Tx Power Ctrl Adjust - If ATPC is enabled, click the Tx power level that can be used to
adjust the ATPC power levels that the system has assigned. It is recommended to use 0 dB during
your initial configuration. If you have an RF plan that recommended Tx power levels for each
Altitude AP, compare the actual Tx power levels your system has assigned against the
recommended values your RF plan has provided. Use the Auto Tx Power Ctrl Adjust value to
achieve the recommended values.
Current Channel - This field is view only. It displays the actual channel the ACS has assigned to
the Altitude 802.11n AP radio. The Current Channel value and the Last Requested Channel
value may be different because the ACS automatically assigns the best available channel to the
Altitude 802.11n AP, ensuring that a Altitude 802.11n AP's radio is always operating on the best
available channel.
Last Requested Channel - This field is view only. This field displays the last wireless channel
that you had selected for the Altitude AP to communicate with the wireless devices.
Auto Tx Power Ctrl (ATPC) - Select to enable ATPC. ATPC automatically adapts transmission
power signals according to the coverage provided by the Altitude APs. After a period of time, the
system will stabilize itself based on the RF coverage of your Altitude APs.
NOTE
If you disable ATPC, you can elect to maintain using the current Tx power setting ATPC had established. If you
elect to maintain using the ATPC power setting, the displayed Current Tx Power Level value becomes the new
Max Tx Power value for the Altitude AP.
Current Tx Power Level - This field is view only. It displays the actual Tx power level assigned
to the Altitude 802.11n AP radio.
Channel Plan - If ACS is enabled, you can define a channel plan for the Altitude AP. Defining a
channel plan allows you to limit which channels are available for use during an ACS scan. For
example, you may want to avoid using specific channels because of low power, regulatory
domain, or radar interference. Click one of the following:
3 Channel Plan - ACS will scan the following channels: 1, 6, and 11 in the US, and 1, 7, and 13
in Europe.
4 Channel Plan - ACS will scan the following channels: 1, 4, 7, and 11 in the US, and 1, 5, 9,
and 13 in Europe.
Auto - ACS will scan the default channel plan channels: 1, 6, and 11 in the US, and 1, 5, 9, and
13 in Europe.
Custom - If you want to configure individual channels from which the ACS will select an
operating channel, click Configure. The Add Channels dialog is displayed. Click the
individual channels you want to add to the channel plan while pressing the CTRL key, and
then click OK.
