Low Power Condition
Security Settings
Wireless clients attempting to authenticate with your access point must support the same security options
configured in the access point, such as EAP or LEAP, MAC address authentication, Message Integrity
Check (MIC), WEP key hashing, and 802.1X protocol versions.
If a wireless client is unable to authenticate with your access point, contact the system administrator for
proper security settings in the client adapter and for the client adapter driver and firmware versions that
are compatible with the access point settings.
Note The access point MAC address that appears on the Status page in the Aironet Client Utility (ACU) is the
MAC address for the access point radio. The MAC address for the access point Ethernet port is printed
on the label on the back of the access point.
Low Power Condition
The access point supports the IEEE 802.3af power standard and the Cisco CDP Power Negotiation
protocol for in-line power sources. On power-up if the access point is unable to determine that the power
source can supply sufficient power (TBD watts), the access point automatically deactivates both radios
to prevent an over-current condition. The access point also activates a Status LED low power error
indication and creates an error log entry (see the “Checking the Access Point LEDs” section on
page 6-2).

Running the Carrier Busy Test
You can use the carrier busy test to determine the least conjested channel for a radio interface (802.11g
or 802.11a). You should typically run the test several times over several days to obtain the best results
and to avoid temporary activity spikes.
Note The carrier busy test is primarily used for single access points or bridge environments. For sites with
multiple access points, a site survey is typically performed to determine the best operation location and
operating frequency for the access points.
Note All associated clients on the selected radio will be deassociated during the 6 to 8 seconds needed for the
carrier busy test.
Perform these steps to activate the carrier busy test:
Step 1 Use your web browser to access the access point browser interface.
Step 2 Click Network Interfaces and the Network Interface Summary screen appears.
Step 3 Choose the radio interface experiencing problems by clicking Radio0-802.11G or Radio1-802.11A.
The respective radio status page appears.
Step 4 Click the Carrier Busy Test tab and the Carrier Busy Test screen appears
