Transmit Power

AP-700, AP-2000
(802.11g)
Determines the power level of radio transmission. Government regulations define the
highest allowable power level for radio devices. This setting must conform to established
standards for the country in which you use the device. You can increase the coverage
RADIUS of the access point, by increasing the Transmit Power Level. However, while this
increases the zone of coverage, it also makes it more likely that the AP will interfere with
neighboring APs.
Supported values are: Cisco (100mW, 50mW, 30mW, 20mW, 5mW, 1mW) Intel/Symbol (Full
or 50mW, 30mW, 15mW, 5mW, 1mW) Colubris (High or 23 dBm, Med. or 17 dBm, Low or 13
dBm)
Distance Between
APs
Large Colubris Determines how far a user can roam before roaming to another AP.
Notes (Optional) Blank All Free form text field for entering fixed asset numbers or other device information. This
information is printed on the nightly inventory report.
Radio (Enable/
Disable)
Enable All The Radio option allows you to disable the radio's ability to transmit or receive data while
still maintaining Ethernet connectivity to the network. AWMS will still monitor the Ethernet
page and ensure the AP stays online. Customers typically use this option to temporarily
disable wireless access in particular locations.
This setting can be scheduled at an AP-Level or Group-Level.
DHCP Yes All (except
Colubris)
If enabled, the AP will be assigned a new IP address using DHCP. If disabled, the AP will
use a static IP address.
For improved security and manageability, Aruba recommends disabling DHCP and using
static IP addresses.
LAN IP None All (except
Colubris)
The IP Address of the AP Ethernet interface. If One-to-One NAT is enabled, AWMS will
communicate with the AP on a different address (the IP Address defined in the "Device
Communication" area).
If DHCP is enabled, the current assigned address will appear grayed out and the field
cannot be updated in this area.
BSID 00:00:00:
00:00
WiMAX Base
Station
Defines the BSID for the base station. This BSID should match the BSID on the Groups >
WiMAX page if you want subscriber stations to associate with the base station.
Subscriber stations use the BSID defined on the Groups > WiMAX page to determine
which base stations to associate with.
Subnet Mask None All Provides the IP subnet mask to identify the sub-network so the IP address can be
recognized on the LAN. If DHCP is enabled, the current assigned address will appear
grayed out and the field cannot be updated in this area.
Gateway None All The IP address of the default internet gateway. If DHCP is enabled, the current assigned
address will appear grayed out and the field cannot be updated in this area.
