Limiting the Power Level for Associated Client Devices
You can also limit the power level on client devices that associate to the wireless device. When a client
device associates to the wireless device, the wireless device sends the maximum power level setting to
the client.
Note
Cisco AVVID documentation uses the term Dynamic Power Control (DPC) to refer to limiting the power
level on associated client devices.
To
specify a maximum allowed power setting on all client devices that associate to the wireless device
