Configuring MAPs

247

The maximum transmit power you can configure on any 3Com radio is
the highest setting allowed for the country of operation or the highest
setting supported on the hardware, whichever is lower.

To configure the 802.11b radio on port 1 for channel 1 with a transmit
power of 10 dBm, type the following command:

WX1200# set ap 1 radio 1 channel 1 tx-power 10
success: change accepted.

To configure the 802.11a radio on port 5 for channel 36 with a transmit
power of 10 dBm, type the following command:

WX1200# set ap 5 radio 2 channel 36 tx-power 10
success: change accepted.

You also can change the channel and transmit power on an individual basis.

Configuring the External Antenna Model and Location

Table 20 lists the external antenna models you can use on 3Com MAP
models AP2750, AP3150, AP3750, AP7250, AP8250, and AP8750. The
AP2750 supports all antennas listed in the table except model
ANT3C598. The other 3Com MAP models support all the external
antenna models listed in the table.

The 3Com AP3750 Managed Access Point has connectors for attaching
optional external 802.11a or 802.11b/g antennas. The 802.11b/g radios
in MAP models MP-341 and MP-352 have an internal antenna but can
use an external antenna. The MP-262 802.11b/g radio requires an
external antenna.
