Transmit Power Control

The access point Mobility 7131 Access Point has a configurable power level for each radio. This

enables the network administrator to define the antenna’s transmission power level in respect to

the access point’s placement or network requirements as defined in the Mobility 7131 Access

Point site survey.

For detailed information on setting the radio transmit power level, see Configuring the 802.11a/n

or 802.11b/g/n Radio on page 5-167.

Advanced Event Logging Capability

The access point Mobility 7131 Access Point periodically logs system events. Logging events is

useful in assessing the throughput and performance of the access point Mobility 7131 Access

Point or troubleshooting problems on the Mobility 7131 Access Pointaccess point managed Local

Area Network (LAN).

For detailed information on access point Mobility 7131 Access Point events, see Logging

Configuration on page 4-103.

Configuration File Import/Export Functionality

Configuration settings for an access point Mobility 7131 Access Point can be downloaded from the

current configuration of another access point Mobility 7131 Access Point. This affords the

administrator the ability to save the current configuration before making significant changes or

restoring a default configuration. A configuration file from a single radio Mobility 7131 Access Point

can be imported to a single radio model Mobility 7131N Access Point. Similarly, a configuration file

from a dual radio Mobility 7131 Access Point can be imported to a dual radio model Mobility 7131N

Access Point.

For detailed information on importing or exporting configuration files, see Importing/Exporting

Configurations on page 4-104.

Default Configuration Restoration

The access point Mobility 7131 Access Point can restore its default configuration or a partial

default configuration (with the exception of current WAN and SNMP settings). Restoring the default

configuration is a good way to create new WLANs if the MUs the Mobility 7131 Access Point access

point supports have been moved to different radio coverage areas.

For detailed information on restoring a default or partial default configuration, see Configuring

System Settings on page 4-67.

DHCP Support

The access point Mobility 7131 Access Point can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

to obtain a leased IP address and configuration information from a remote server. DHCP is based

on the BOOTP protocol and can coexist or interoperate with BOOTP. Configure the access point

Mobility 7131 Access Point to send out a DHCP request searching for a DHCP/BOOTP server to

acquire HTML, firmware or network configuration files when the Mobility 7131 Access Pointaccess

point boots. Because BOOTP and DHCP interoperate, whichever responds first becomes the server

that allocates information.
