Router (config-if)# ieee154 panid 2121
For sample configuration, see show wpan config, on page 55.
Naming the SSID
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) identifies the owner of the RME. The SSID is set on a RME in manufacturing, and that same SSID
must also be configured on the CGR WPAN interface.
To configure the name of the SSID, use the ssid command ieee154 ssid <ssid_name>, for example:
Router(config)# interface wpan 3/1
Router(config-if)# ieee154 ssid ?
WORD ssid string (Max size 32)
Router(config-if)# ieee154 ssid myWPANssid
For sample configuration, see show wpan config, on page 55.
Configuring Transmit Power
Transmit power must match the local regulation and be aligned with the Cisco Resilient Mesh value, which can be monitored
through IoT FND.
Note
The actual maximum possible power emitted by the radio antenna is approximately 28 to 30 dbm. However, this is not directly, nor
linearly, mapped to the txpower designation in the configuration. The txpower in the configuration specifies the txpower setting in
the physical hardware (chip). However, the radio signal out of the hardware chip must travel through the amplifier, front end, antenna,
etc., which causes the output power of the chip to be less than the actual electro-magnetic signal that is emitted into the air.
Values range from 2 (high) to the default value of -34 dBm (low) as shown in Table 9: Transmit Power: Configured Power Value
Versus Actual Power, on page 28:
Table 9: Transmit Power: Configured Power Value Versus Actual Power
Actual Power (dBm)Configured Power Value (dBm)txpower
Value
28 (For outdoors; the recommended value)2High
0 (For indoor lab testing)-34Low
The range provided in txpower configuration is an integer range, which is a superset of all the configurable values available.
Router(config-if)# ieee154 txpower ?
<-65 - 64> Enter a value between -65 and 64
*Default value is -34
To configure the transmit power for outdoor usage, specify a higher transmit power, such as:
Router (config-if)# ieee154 txpower 30
For sample configuration, see show wpan config, on page 55.
