Setting the Maximum RF Power for Legal Operation in the U-NII Band
Due to FCC restrictions the professional installer must manually set the maximum power for the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz
U-NII band based upon which antenna is being used.
In all cases, Antenna Gain + Radio Max Power Setting can not exceed 30 dBm. As an example, if the radio is being
installed with a 34 dBi antenna, then the radio max U-NII power must be fixed to –4 dBm. The following chart provides
additional details:
Antenna Gain Maximum Allowed
U-NII Tx Power
23 +7 dBm
30 0 dBm
34 -4 dBm
The Max Power Setting command is only accessible from the command line and is not available on the HTTP Browser
interface.
The telnet command to change the maximum power is:
uniimaxpower <max power in dBm>
The command must be run on each P5010-EXT prior to installing the antenna and while the Opmode is OFF.
Example: To set the max power setting for the 23 dBi antenna use the following command:
#> Uniimaxpower 6
success.
Port Plug and Port Plate (Hardware)
Prior to deployment, insert the silicone port plug around the Cat-5 Cable and insert into the radio’s port opening. Next,
screw the port plate over the silicone plug as shown in the photographs below.
