Radio Power-level Setting Example
In this example, an optional HP antenna J8997A is to be used on an autonomous MSM AP
configured for 802.11g in the USA. Per the Maximum RF Power Setting chart screenshot
below, the intersection of row UNITED STATES and column 802.11g Mode/J8997A,
indicates that the maximum radio power level is 15 dBm. (Please check the actual charts in
this document for current values).
Set the maximum power level of 15 dBm as follows (MSM310 used as example):
1. Launch the MSM AP management tool and log in.
2. Select Wireless > Radio.
3. For Wireless mode, select 802.11g.
4. Click Advanced wireless settings to expand the dialog box.
5. Under Transmit power control disable Maximum available output power.
6. To the left of dBM, specify the value, 15 in this example. The dialog box should now look
similar to this (in this screenshot the tall dialog box is split in two):
Note For the 5 GHz band you also need to set Antenna gain to the gain of the installed
antenna.
7. Select Save.
