Chapter 4 Configuring Radio Settings
Configuring Radio Transmit Power
Use the no form of the speed command to disable data rates. When you use the no form of the command,
all data rates are disabled except the rates you name in the command. This example shows how to disable
data rate 6.0:
bridge# configure terminal
bridge(config)# interface dot11radio 0
bridge(config-if)# no speed basic-9.0 basic-12.0 basic-18.0 basic-24.0 basic-36.0
basic-48.0 basic-54.0
bridge(config-if)# end
Data rate 6 is disabled, and the rest of the rates are set to basic.
This example shows how to set up the WMIC for 54 Mbps service only:
bridge# configure terminal
bridge(config)# interface dot11radio 0
bridge(config-if)# speed basic-54.0
bridge(config-if)# end
Data rate 54 is set to basic, and the rest of the data rates are set to enabled.
Configuring Radio Transmit Power
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the transmit power on your WMIC radio:
Use the no form of the power command to return the power setting to maximum, the default setting.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface dot11radio 0 Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
Step 3
power local
{1 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 50 | 100 |
maximum }
Set the transmit power for the radio to one of the power levels
allowed in your regulatory domain. All settings are in mW.
The settings allowed in your regulatory domain might differ
from the settings listed here.
The maximum power level for the 4.9-GHz (US Only, Public
Safety) radio is 40 mW.
The 2.4-GHz (802.11b/g) radio transmits at up to 100 mW for
the 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps data rates. However, for the 6, 9, 12,
18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps data rates, the maximum transmit
power for the 802.11g radio is 30 mW.
Step 4
power client
{1 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 50 | 100 |
maximum }
Set the maximum power level allowed on client devices that
associate to the WMIC in access point mode. All settings are in
mW.
Note The settings allowed in your regulatory domain might
differ from the settings listed here.
Step 5
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
