Chapter 5 Configuring the Client Adapter
Configuring Your Client Adapter
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: Max (the maximum level programmed into the client adapter
and allowed by your country’s regulatory agency)
Power Levels
Client Adapter Type
Max, 100 mW, 50 mW,
30 mW, 20 mW, 5 mW, or
1 mW
350 series PC and LM cards
Max, 30 mW, or 1 mW
340 series PC cards
Max, 30 mW, 15 mW,
5 mW, or 1 mW
340 series LM cards
Note
Reducing the transmit power level conserves battery power but
decreases radio range.
Note
If the client adapter is running, ACU queries the adapter and
displays the settings programmed into the adapter. If the client
adapter is not running, ACU displays power level options based
on the last known radio type.
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.
Offline Channel Scan
Causes the client adapter to periodically scan for a better access point
with the same SSID if the signal strength falls below 50%.
Options: Enabled or Disabled
Default: Enabled
