About this task
Use the Power
Configuration dashboard to set or override one of two power modes
(802.3af or Automatic) for a managed controller. When Automatic is selected, the
controller safely operates within available power. After the power configuration is
determined, the controller configures its operating power characteristics based on
its radio model and power configuration.

The General dashboard
opens.

Go to Power Configuration.

Use the Power Mode
drop-down to set or change the Power Mode Configuration on the selected

When a controller is powered on
for the first time, the system determines the power budget available to the
controller. The Automatic setting automatically determines the best power
configuration based on the available power budget. Automatic is the default
setting. If you select 802.3af, the access point assumes 12.95 watts are
available. If the mode is changed, reset the controller to implement the
change.
