ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600 6. Configure the settings as described in the following table. Setting Description TX Power Settings Default Tx Power Make a selection from the menu to specify how the transmission (Tx) power is configured on the access points: Full, Half, Quarter, Eighth, or Minimum. By default, the selection from the menu is Half. When automatic Tx power control is enabled, the selection from the menu is used as the initial power level for the access points. Automatic Tx Power Control WLAN Healing 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 coverage areas overlap, the access point's Tx power is automatically decreased below default level. By default, automatic Tx power control is enabled. Select the disable radio button to disable automatic Tx power control. Maximum Neighbors to Participate in Self-healing From the menu, 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. By default, the selection from the menu is 3. Self healing wait Time after AP Failure From the menu, 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 less than one minute. By default, the selection from the menu is 1. Entering a value greater than the access point reboot time allows for fluctuations in the power of nearby access points when access points are rebooted. Coverage Hole Detection Periodic Coverage Hole Detection Select the enable radio button to allow coverage hole detection to run in the background periodically. By default, coverage hole detection is enabled. Select the disable radio button to disable this option.
