Changing Autonomous Access Point Output Power

This section provides instructions for changing the 1250 series autonomous access point output power

to comply with the maximum power limits imposed by special regulatory and country restrictions (see

the“2.4 GHz Band (pre-n IEEE 802.11n)” section on page 5-2, the “5 GHz Band (pre-n IEEE 802.11n)”

section on page 5-7, and the “Special Country Restrictions” section on page 5-17).

Note Administrator privileges may be required in order to change access point settings.

Caution To meet regulatory restrictions, the access point and the external antenna must be professionally

installed. The network administration or other IT professional responsible for installing and configuring the

unit is a suitable professional installer. Following configuration, access to the unit should be password
