3 Click Apply to save any changes to the Power Settings screen. Navigating away from the screen
without clicking the Apply button results in all changes to the screen being lost.

displayed on the Power Settings screen to the last saved configuration.
5 Click Logout to securely exit the Access Point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout before
the applet is closed.
Adaptive AP Setup
An Access Point needs settings defined to discover (and adopt) an available controller and establish a
connection and data tunnel. It's through this controller adoption that the Access Point receives its
adaptive AP (AAP) configuration. The Access Point has a screen to define the mechanisms used to adopt
a controller and route AAP configuration information.
NOTE
For an AAP overview and a theoretical discussion of how an Access Point discovers a controller to create
a secure data tunnel for adaptive AP operation, see
NOTE
The Adaptive AP Setup screen does not display the AAP's adoption status or adopted controller. This
information is available using the Access Point's CLI.
Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide
When the Access Point is powered on for the first time, the
system determines the power budget available to the
Access Point. Using the Auto setting (default setting), the
Access Point automatically determines the best power
configuration based on the available power budget.
If 3af is selected, the AP assumes 12.95 watts are
available. If the mode is changed, the Access Point
requires a reset to implement the change.
If 3af is selected, the AP is configured assuming 12.95
watts are available using a 3af power budget, even though
there may actually be more power available. Set the 3af
Power to either Default or Option. Changing the power
option to 3af restarts the Access Point in order to
implement the change. The Access Point's WAN port is
turned off if the power mode is set to 3af.
Set the power option for 3at to either Default or Option.
Changing the power option to 3at restarts the Access Point
in order to implement the change. With 3at power, both
Ethernet ports are available using 1000BAST-T mode.
Define whether radio 1 or radio 2 is the default radio.With
three radio models, this is especially important when the
power budget can only accommodate one radio to be
optimally powered. If using a dual radio Access Point,
power is negotiated between the radios per the defined
configuration. If deploying a three radio model Altitude
4750, the third radio can never be the default radio.
