4.2 Configuring Power Settings

Use the Power Setting
selected, the access point safely operates within available power. Once the power configuration is
determined, the access point configures its operating power characteristics based on its SKU and
power configuration.
The access point uses a complex programmable logic device (CPLD). The CPLD determines proper
supply sequencing, the maximum power available and other status information. One of the primary
functions of the CPLD is to determine the access point's maximum power budget. When the AP is
powered on (or performing a cold reset), the CPLD determines the maximum power provided by the
POE device and the budget available to the access point. The CPLD also determines the access point
hardware SKU and the number of radios. If the access point's POE resource cannot provide sufficient
power to run the access point (with all intended interfaces enabled), some of the following interfaces
could be disabled or modified:
• The access point's transmit and receive algorithms could be negatively impacted
• The access point's transmit power could be reduced due to insufficient power
• The access point's WAN port configuration could be changed (either enabled or disabled)
if a LAN Interface is set to DHCP Client. The entries can be retrieved
(once the reboot is done) by performing an Apply operation from the
WEB UI or a save operation from the CLI.
