1.8.4 Power Adjustment

To check power level, select the WLAN tab from the navigation panel and click
Monitoring Access Points Managed Access Points. Select Radio Details tab to
check the power level.
The Automatic Power Adjustment algorithm works by setting the initial power of the AP
to the value specified in the AP profile. The power is then periodically adjusted to a level
based on presence or absence of packet transmission errors. The power is changed in
increments of 10%. Automatic adjustment can be done by selecting the Automatic
Power in the Radio tab of the Basic Setup. By default this parameter is enabled. The
algorithm may be triggered by a periodic timer or manually.
Note: The algorithm never reduces the AP power below the initial power setting as
specified in the profile and since the default power level in the default profile is 100
percent, the power would never be reduced unless this value is first changed.
