Chapter 2 Configuring Radio Settings
Configuring Radio Transmit Power
Use the no form of the speed command to remove one or more data rates from the configuration. This
example shows how to remove data rates basic-2.0 and basic-5.5 from the configuration:
router# configure terminal
router(config)# interface dot11radio 0
router(config-if)# no speed basic-2.0 basic-5.5
router(config-if)# end
Configuring Radio Transmit Power
Radio transmit power is based on the type of radio or radios installed in your access point and the
regulatory domain in which it operates. To determine what transmit power is available for your access
point and which regulatory domain it operates in, refer to the hardware installation guide for that device.
hardware installation guides are available at cisco.com. Follow these steps to view and download them:
Step 1 Browse to http://www.cisco.com.
Step 2 Click Technical Support & Documentation. A small window appears containing a list of technical
support links.
Step 3 Click Technical S u p p o rt & Documentation. The Technical Support and Documentation page appears.
Step 4 In the Documentation & Tools section, choose Wireless. The Wireless Support Resources page appears.
Step 5 In the Wireless LAN Access section, choose the device you are working with. An introduction page for
the device appears.
Step 6 In the Install and Upgrade section, choose Install and Upgrade Guides. The Install and Upgrade Guides
page for the device appears.
Step 7 Choose the hardware installation guide for the device. The home page for the guide appears.
Step 8 In the left frame, click Channels and Antenna Settings.
Table 2-2 shows the relationship between mW and dBm.
