Appendix I: Setting the Output Power
Use the following procedure to set the output (transmit) power for the chosen antenna:
1. Establish a Telnet connection with the selected wireless module (radio).
2. Log in to the radio.
3. Type the command get power.
The system displays the current power settings for the selected radio.
If the radio is set to the desired power setting, no further action is required and you can log out,
otherwise go to Step 4. The following list shows the available power settings:
◗ Full – sets the maximum (normal) transmit power. This is the default setting.
◗ Half – sets the transmit power to a fractional half of the full power.
◗ Quarter – sets the transmit power to a fractional quarter of the full power.
◗ Eighth – sets the transmit power to a fractional eighth of the full power.
◗ Minimum – sets the transmit power to its minimum.
4. To set the power output for the selected radio, type the command set power and append the desired
setting to the command. For example, to set the output power to minimum, type set power min. Or,
to set the output power to one quarter, type set power quarter.
When the command is entered, the system displays the new power setting automatically. However, if
you need to verify the output power setting for any radio, use the command get power. The following
graphic shows the output power for a radio being changed from full to one quarter.
