ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller WC7520 Figure 47. 2. Configure the settings as explained in the following table: Table 24. RF management settings Setting Description TX Power Settings section Default Tx Power Make a selection from the drop-down list to specify how the transmission (Tx) power is configured on the access points: Full, Half, Quarter, Eighth, or Minimum. When automatic Tx power control is enabled, the selection from the drop-down list is used as the initial power level for the access points. Automatic Tx Power Control Select the Enable radio button to enable automatic Tx power control: • When a client attempts to connect to an access point at low power, the access point's Tx power is automatically increased above the default level. • When there are overlapping coverage areas, the access point's Tx power is automatically decreased below default level. Select the Disable radio button to disable automatic Tx power control. WLAN Healing section Maximum Neighbors to Participate in Self-healing From the drop-down list, select the maximum number of neighboring access points that increase or decrease power to cover for a failing access point. Selecting 0 (zero) disables this feature. Use close neighbors, not a distant access point, and do not use all access points. Self healing wait Time after AP Failure From the drop-down list, select the number of minutes to validate ( that is, wait) before confirming a failed access point and increasing transmit power to cover the area. Enter a value greater than the access point reboot time, which is usually 1 minute. This allows for fluctuations in the power of nearby access points when access points are rebooted.
