An access point uses a complex programmable logic device (CPLD). The CPLD determines proper
supply sequencing, the maximum power available and other status information. One of the primary
functions of the CPLD is to determine the maximum power budget. When an access point is
powered on (or performing a cold reset), the CPLD determines the maximum power provided by the
POE device and the budget available to the access point. The CPLD also determines the access
point hardware SKU (model) and the number of radios. If the access point’s POE resource cannot
provide sufficient power to run the access point (with all intended interfaces enabled), some of the
following interfaces could be disabled or modified:
• The access point’s transmit and receive algorithms could be negatively impacted
• The access point’s transmit power could be reduced due to insufficient power
• The access point’s WAN port configuration could be changed (either enabled or disabled)
To define an access point’s power configuration or apply an override to an existing parameter:
Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
Select Devices from the Configuration tab.
Select Device Overrides.
Select a target device from the device browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.
Select Device Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub-menu options.
Select Power.
A screen displays where an access point’s power configuration can be defined or overridden.
NOTE
A blue override icon (to the left of a parameter) defines the parameter as having an override applied.
To remove an override, go to the Basic Configuration screen’s Device Overrides field and select Clear
Overrides. This will remove all overrides from the device.
