4. Use the Power Mode drop-down menu to set or override the Power Mode Configuration on this
AP.
NOTE
Single radio model Access Point’s always operate using a full power configuration. The power
management configurations described in this section do not apply to single radio models.
When an Access Point is powered on for the first time, the system determines the power
budget available to the Access Point. Using the Automatic setting, the Access Point
automatically determines the best power configuration based on the available power budget.
Automatic is the default setting.
If 802.3af is selected, the Access Point assumes 12.95 watts are available. If the mode is
changed, the Access Point requires a reset to implement the change. If 802.3at is selected,
the Access Point assumes 23 - 26 watts are available.
5. Set or override the Access Point radio’s 802.3af Power Mode and the radio’s 802.3at Power
Mode.
Use the drop-down menu to define a mode of either Range or Throughput.
Select Throughput to transmit packets at the radio’s highest defined basic rate (based on the
radio’s current basic rate settings). This option is optimal in environments where the
transmission range is secondary to broadcast/multicast transmission performance. Select
Range when range is preferred over performance for broadcast/multicast (group) traffic. The
data rates used for range are the lowest defined basic rates. Throughput is the default setting
for both 802.3af and 802.3at.
6. Select OK to save the changes and overrides made to the Access Point power configuration.
Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
