3. Click Apply to save any changes to the Power Settings screen. Navigating away from the screen

without clicking the Apply button results in all changes to the screen being lost.

4. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the

settings displayed on the Power Settings screen to the last saved configuration.

5. Click Logout to securely exit the access point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout

before the applet is closed.

Adaptive AP Setup

An access point needs settings defined to discover (and adopt) an available switch and establish a

connection and data tunnel. It’s through this switch adoption that the access point receives its

adaptive AP (AAP) configuration. The access point has a screen to define the mechanisms used to

adopt a switch and route AAP configuration information

NOTE

For an AAP overview and a theoretical discussion of how an access point discovers a switch to

creates a secure data tunnel for adaptive AP operation, see Adaptive AP on page 10-471.

NOTE

The Adaptive AP Setup screen does not display the AAP’s adoption status or adopted switch. This

information is available using the access point’s CLI. To review AAP adoption status and adopted

switch information, see br7131>admin(system.aap-setup)>show on page 8-384.

To configure the access point’s switch discovery method and connection medium:

Power Status Refer to the (read only) power status field to review the power available to the AP. The

status for a Mobility 7131 Access Point and Mobility 7131N Access Point are slightly

different. For a Mobility 7131 Access Point, the options are 3af, Mid Power or Full Power.

For an Mobility 7131N Access Point model, the options are 3at, 3af or Full Power.

Power Mode When the access point is powered on for the first time, the system determines the power

budget available to the access point. Using the

Auto setting (default setting), the access

point automatically determines the best power configuration based on the available power

budget.

3af is selected, the AP assumes 12.95 watts are available. If the mode is changed, the

access point requires a reset to implement the change.

3af Power If 3af is selected, the AP is configured assuming 12.95 watts are available using a 3af

power budget, even though there may actually be more power available. Set the 3af Power

to either Default or Option. Changing the power option to 3af restarts the access point in

order to implement the change. The access point’s WAN port is turned off if the power

mode is set to 3af.

3at Power Set the power option for 3at to either Default or Option. Changing the power option to 3at

restarts the access point in order to implement the change. With 3at power, both Ethernet

ports are available using 1000BAST-T mode.

Default Radio Define whether radio 1 or radio 2 is the default radio.With three radio models, this is

especially important when the power budget can only accommodate one radio to be

optimally powered. If using a dual radio access point, power is negotiated between the

radios per the defined configuration. If deploying a three radio model

Mobility 7131N Access Point, the third radio can never be the default radio.
