set airlink downlink power
This parameter specifies the base station’s transmit power level. Specify a power
value from 0 to 31.
The maximum system power level is 10, which specifies +33 dB at 2 watts. The
other power levels are measured in 1 dB steps from the maximum.
Example:
set airlink downlink power 10
set downlink bias
This parameter specifies the portion of airtime (slots) available for use on the
downlink relative to the airtime for the uplink. There are always 6 slots available for
the uplink.
The higher the bias, the more bandwidth is available for the downlink, due to more
time allocated to the downlink.
Example:
set airlink downlink bias 9
