Controller, Service Platform and Access Point CLI Reference Guide

Configures the minimum and maximum transmit power values assigned to Smart RF managed radios. By default each 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Smart RF managed radio is assigned a minimum and maximum transmit power value of 4 dBm and 17 dBm respectively. Use this command to modify the transmit power capability for each band type.

Supported in the following platforms:

Access Points — AP7502, AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP8163, AP8432, AP8533
Wireless Controller — RFS4010
Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

Parameters

assignable-power [2.4GHz|5GHz] [max|min] <1-20>


2.4GHz [max\|min] <1-20>	Assigns a power range on the 2.4 GHz band max <1-20> – Sets the upper limit from 1 dBm - 20 dBm (default is 17 dBm) min <1-20> – Sets the lower limit from 1 dBm - 20 dBm (default is 4 dBm) Note: As a best practice, we recommend not to increase the maximum power value for the 2.4 GHz radios beyond the default 17 dBm. This default value of 17 dBm provides a 3 dBm margin for the Neighbor Recovery and Coverage Hole Recovery features. If each radio in the system is operating at a maximum of 20 dBm, the Smart RF managed radios will be unable to increase their transmit power if a neighboring AP fails or a coverage hole is detected. Increase the maximum power value only if the Neighbor Recovery and Coverage Hole Recovery features are disabled.
5GHz [max\|min] <1-20>	Assigns a power range on the 5.0 GHz band max <1-20> – Sets the upper limit from 1 dBm - 20 dBm (default is 17 dBm) min <1-20> – Sets the lower limit from 1 dBm - 20 dBm (default is 4 dBm) Note: As a general best practice, we recommend not increase the maximum power value for the 5 GHz radios beyond the default 17 dBm. This default value of 17 dBm provides a 3 dBm margin for the Neighbor Recovery and Coverage Hole Recovery features. If each radio in the system is operating at a maximum of 20 dBm, the Smart RF managed radios will be unable to increase their transmit power if a neighboring AP fails or a coverage hole is detected. Increase the maximum power value only if the Neighbor Recovery and Coverage Hole Recovery features are disabled.
