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.
4. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the
settings 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 switch and establish a
connection and data tunnel. It’s through this switch 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 switch and route AAP configuration information.
NOTE
For an AAP overview and a theoretical discussion of how an access point discovers a switch to
creates a secure data tunnel for adaptive AP operation, see
“Adaptive AP” on page 545.
NOTE
AAP functionality is only supported on a Brocade RFS7000-FGR model controller.
Power Status Refer to the (read only) power status field to review the power
available to the AP. For
a Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access
Point, the options are 3at, 3af or Full Power.
Power Mode 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.
3af Power 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.
3at Power 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.
Default Radio Define whether radio 1 or radio 2 is the default radio. If using a
dual radio access point, power is negotiated between the radios
per the defined configuration.
