Configuring ATPC (CLI)
Automatic TX Power Control (ATPC) is a closed-loop mechanism by which each carrier changes
the transmitted signal power according to the indication received across the link, in order to
achieve a desired RSL on the other side of the link. Without ATPC, if loss of frame occurs the
system automatically increases its transmit power to the configured maximum. This may cause a
higher level of interference with other systems until the failure is corrected.
Note
You cannot use ATPC in MIMO mode. See
Configuring MIMO and Space Diversity
To enable or disable ATPC, enter the following command:
radio[x/x]>atpc set admin <admin>
To display whether or not ATPC is enabled, enter the following command:
radio[x/x]>atpc show admin
To set the RX reference level for ATPC, enter the following command
radio[x/x]>atpc set rx-level atpc_ref_rx_level <rx-level>
To display the RX reference level for ATPC, enter the following command:
radio[x/x]>atpc show rx-level
