Transmit Power
Provide a percentage value to set the transmit power for this access
point.
The default is to have the access point transmit using 100 percent of
its power.
ˆ In most situations, Allied Telesyn recommends keeping the default
and having the transmit power set to 100 percent. This is more
cost-efficient because it gives the access point a maximum
broadcast range and reduces the number of access points needed.
ˆ To increase capacity of the network, place access points closer
together and reduce the value of the transmit power. This setup
helps reduce overlap and interference among access points. A
lower transmit power setting can also keep your network more
secure because weaker wireless signals are less likely to
propagate outside of the physical location of your network.
