Operating the SPS 3000
Use the Radio Transmission Power field to set the transmission power level for adapters
operating in Infrastructure mode. There are two options available in Infrastructure mode:
Automatic and Power Plus.
• Select Automatic to use the current access point transmit power level for the
adapter. Automatic is the default mode for adapters operating in Infrastructure
mode.
• Select Power Plus from the pull down menu to set the transmission power one level
higher than the level set for the access point. If the access point is set to the highest
power level, then that is the level used by the adapter.
Use the Radio Transmission Power field to set the transmission power level for adapters
operating in Ad Hoc or Enhanced Ad Hoc mode. Select a transmission power level from the
AdHoc pull-down menu and tap Apply to implement that level for the adapter. There are five
transmission power options available in Ad Hoc and Enhanced Ad Hoc mode.
• Select Maximum power to set the adapter to the highest transmission power level.
Select Maximum power when attempting to communicate with adapters at the
outer edge of a coverage area.
• Choose 50% power to set the adapter to a transmit power level that is half of the
maximum power level. Reduce transmission power as needed to avoid
interference with other devices operating within the same coverage area.
• Specify 25% power to set the adapter to a transmit power level that is half of the
50% power level.
• Select 10% power to set the adapter to a transmit power level that is about half of
the 25% power level.
• Choose Minimum power to set the adapter to the lowest transmit power level. Use
minimum power when communicating with other devices in very close proximity.
Note:If unsure which transmission power level to use in the coverage
area, ask the System Administrator.
