Setting Radio Cell Size

The radio transmit powers and receive sensitivities should be set

appropriately for the environment in which they are operating. The

simplest way to do this is to pick an operating cell size for them. The

following CLI commands illustrate how to set a small cell size on

three of the abg radios.

Please see the Xirrus Wi-Fi Array Users Guide for a detailed

explanation of radio transmit power, receive sensitivities and cell

sizing.

Xirrus_WLAN_Array(config-iap)# abg1 cellsize small

Xirrus_WLAN_Array(config-iap)# abg3 cellsize small
