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.
