•
Assign AP channel (frequency) and Reuse Code
•
Determine antenna cable attenuation
•
Determine AP transmit power setting
•
The maximum permissible Effective Radiated Power, ERP, is determined by the
regulations for the country where the AP will be installed (e.g., ETSI, FCC). The actual
ERP is determined by the AP’s transmit power output, antenna gain and antenna cable
loss.
Note:
The maximum ERP authorized by the FCC in the United States is +36 dBi.
Network Configuration
The following AP network configuration settings must be determined by your network planning
and configuration team and provided for AP configuration. These settings can be set via the AP
web interface (shown in “AP Software Configuration via Web Interface” on page 33) or in EMS
(refer to the
EMS Operator Guide 2.1, 010-0107-00
), except as noted below:
•
Site Name
Note:
The site name is for reference only and is not set in the AP or in EMS.
•
AP ID
•
System ID
•
Client or Server Mode operation
•
Static or DHCP IP address assignment
•
