Table 5-3 lists and describes the client adapter’s advanced parameters. Follow the instructions in the
table to change any parameters.
Table 5-3 Profile Management Advanced Parameters
Parameter Description
Transmit Power Level Specifies the preferred power level at which your client adapter
transmits. Although the adapter supports up to 100 mW, the transmit
power level that is actually used is limited to the maximum value
allowed by your country’s regulatory agency (FCC in the U.S., DOC in
Canada, ETSI in Europe, TELEC in Japan, etc.).
Options: Dependent on the radio band used and 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
Radio Band Transmit Power Level
802.11b/g 10, 20, 32, 50, 63, or 100 mW
802.11a 10, 13, 20, 25, or 40 mW
Note The client adapter’s maximum transmit power level may be
lower when operating in 802.11g mode than when operating in
802.11b mode due to 802.11g-specific regulatory limitations in
some countries.
Note Reducing the transmit power level conserves battery power but
decreases radio range.
Note If configured to control the client power level, access points can
limit the maximum power of the client.
