Chapter 5 Configuring the Client Adapter

Setting RF Network Parameters

Transmit Power

Defines the power level at which your client adapter transmits. This
value must not be higher than that allowed by your country’s regulatory
agency (FCC in the U.S., DOC in Canada, ETSI in Europe, MKK in
Japan, etc.).

Options: Dependent on the power table programmed into the client

adapter; see the table below

Default: The maximum power level programmed into the client

adapter and allowed by your country’s regulatory agency

Possible Power Levels

Client Adapter Type

30 mW or 1 mW

340 series PC cards

30 mW, 15 mW, 5 mW, or
1 mW

340 series LM cards and PCI cards

100 mW, 50 mW, 30 mW,
20 mW, 5 mW, or 1 mW

350 series client adapters

20 mW, 10 mW, or 5 mW

PC-Cardbus card

Note

Reducing the transmit power level conserves battery power but
decreases radio range.

Note

When World Mode is enabled, the client adapter is limited to
the maximum transmit power level allowed by the country of
operation’s regulatory agency.

Note

If you are using an older version of a 340 or 350 series client
adapter, your power level options may be different than those
listed here.
