Chapter 5 Configuring the Client Adapter
Setting RF Network Parameters
Transmit Power
Defines the power level at which your client adapter transmits. This
value must not be higher than that allowed by your country’s regulatory
agency (FCC in the U.S., DOC in Canada, ETSI in Europe, MKK in
Japan, etc.).
Options: Dependent on the power table programmed into the client
adapter; see the table below
Default: The maximum power level programmed into the client
adapter and allowed by your country’s regulatory agency
Possible Power Levels
Client Adapter Type
30 mW or 1 mW
340 series PC cards
30 mW, 15 mW, 5 mW, or
1 mW
340 series LM cards and PCI cards
100 mW, 50 mW, 30 mW,
20 mW, 5 mW, or 1 mW
350 series client adapters
20 mW, 10 mW, or 5 mW
PC-Cardbus card
Note
Reducing the transmit power level conserves battery power but
decreases radio range.
Note
When World Mode is enabled, the client adapter is limited to
the maximum transmit power level allowed by the country of
operation’s regulatory agency.
Note
If you are using an older version of a 340 or 350 series client
adapter, your power level options may be different than those
listed here.
