Setting Default Device Type Description
Transmit Power
Reduction
0 Proxim
Transmit Power Reduction determines the APs transmit
power. The max transmit power is reduced by the number of
decibels specified.
Channel 6 All
Represents the AP’s current RF channel setting. The
number relates to the center frequency output by the AP’s
RF synthesizer.
Contiguous APs should be set to different channels to
minimize ‘crosstalk,’ which occurs when the signals from
APs overlap and interfere with each other. This RF
interference negatively influences WLAN performance.
802.11b’s 2.4-GHz range has a total bandwidth of 80-MHz,
separated into 11 center channels. Of these channels, only
3 are non-overlapping (1, 6, and 11). In the United States,
most organizations use only these non-overlapping
channels.

(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) Symbol (Full or 50mW, 30mW, 15mW,
5mW, 1mW)
Radio Enabled Yes All
The Radio Enabled option allows you to disable the radio's
ability to transmit or receive data while still maintaining
Ethernet connectivity to the network. AirWave 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.
NOTE: You cannot disable radios unless rogue scanning is
disabled in Groups > Radio.
Use DHCP Yes All
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, disable DHCP and
using static IP addresses.
LAN IP None All
The IP Address of the AP Ethernet interface. If One-to-One
NAT is enabled, AirWave will communicate with the AP on a
different address (the IP Address defined in the Device
Communication section).
If DHCP is enabled, the current assigned address will
appear grayed out and the field cannot be updated in this
area.
