Determines the power level of radio transmission. Government
regulations define the highest allowable power level for radio
devices. This setting must conform to established standards for the
country in which you use the device. You can increase the
coverage radius of the access point by increasing the Transmit
Power Level. However, while this increases the zone of coverage,
it also makes it more likely that the AP will interfere with
neighboring APs.
Supported values are: Cisco (100mW, 50mW, 30mW, 20mW, 5mW,
1mW) Symbol (Full or 50mW, 30mW, 15mW, 5mW, 1mW)
Radio Enabled
Yes All
The Radio Enabled option allows you to disable the radio's ability
to transmit or receive data while still maintaining Ethernet
connectivity to the network. AirWave will still monitor the Ethernet
page and ensure the AP stays online. Customers typically use this
option to temporarily disable wireless access in particular
locations.
This setting can be scheduled at an AP level or Group level.
NOTE: You cannot disable radios unless rogue scanning is
disabled in Groups > Radio.
Use DHCP
Yes All
If enabled, the AP will be assigned a new IP address using DHCP.
If disabled, the AP will use a static IP address. For improved
security and manageability, disable DHCP and using static IP
addresses.
LAN IP
None All
The IP Address of the AP Ethernet interface. If One-to-One NAT is
enabled, AirWave will communicate with the AP on a different
address (the IP Address defined in the Device Communication
section).
If DHCP is enabled, the current assigned address will appear
grayed out and the field cannot be updated in this area.
Subnet Mask
None All
Provides the IP subnet mask to identify the sub-network so the IP
address can be recognized on the LAN. If DHCP is enabled, the
current assigned address will appear grayed out and the field
cannot be updated in this area.
Gateway
None All
The IP address of the default internet gateway. If DHCP is enabled,
the current assigned address will appear grayed out and the field
cannot be updated in this area.
