Intelligent Power Management support is dependent on the version of software resident in the Cisco Intelligent Power Management support is dependent on the version of software resident in the Cisco
switch that is providing power to the access point. Each Cisco switch should be upgraded to support switch that is providing power to the access point. Each Cisco switch should be upgraded to support
Intelligent Power Management. Until the software is upgraded, you can use your controller to configure Intelligent Power Management. Until the software is upgraded, you can use your controller to configure
