IEEE 802.11a (5-GHz Band)

When shipped from the factory, the AIR-AP1131AG-x-K9 (dual radio) access points support the channels and maximum power levels listed in Table 2-3 for their regulatory domain.


Note Access points with FCC Certification Number (LDK102054) do not support dynamic frequency selection (DFS) on channels 52 to 64 and 100 to 140 in the US and Canada. The FCC Certification Number (also called FCC ID number) is shown on the product label on the bottom of the unit. Only access points with LDK102054E on the product label can support DFS in the US and Canada.

Changing Access Point Output Power

This section provides instructions for changing the 1130AG series autonomous access point output power to comply with the maximum power limits imposed by special regulatory and country restrictions (see the "Special Country Restrictions" section).


Note Administrator privileges may be required in order to change access point settings.



Note Regulatory domains are set at the factory and cannot be changed by the user.



Caution To meet regulatory restrictions, the access point and the external antenna must be professionally installed. The network administration or other IT professional responsible for installing and configuring the unit is a suitable professional installer. Following configuration, access to the unit should be password protected by the network administrator to maintain regulatory compliance.

To change the access point output power level, follow these instructions:


Step 1 Use your web-browser to access your access point.

Step 2 When the Summary Status page appears, click Radio0-802.11G or Radio0-802.11A and the radio status page appears.

Step 3 Click Settings and the radio settings page appears.

Step 4 For the 802.11G radio, follow these steps:

a. Scroll down to the CCK Transmit Power (dBm) settings and click the desired output power level.

b. For the OFDM Transmit Power (dBm) settings, click the desired output power level.

Step 5 For the 802.11A radio, scroll down to the Transmit Power (dBm) settings and click the desired output power level.

Step 6 Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Apply.

Step 7 Close your web-browser.
