| Description | This object, expressed in dB, is used to
calculate the appropriate radio settings for the
wireless infrastructure devices being managed.
The semantics are as follows.
For a dot11 interface without an external antenna
and an attenuator connected to it, the value of
this object is the default gain corresponding to the
PHY type of that respective interface.
If the particular dot11 interface is connected to an
external antenna in the presence of an attenuator,
this object holds the value that is the resultant of
the gain of the antenna as specified by the antenna's
hardware specification and the attenuation introduced
by the attenuator, as configured by the administrator.
In the absence of an attenuator, the value held by
this object is the exact value of the gain of the
external antenna configured by the administrator as
specified by the antenna's hardware specification,
if an external antenna is connected to the 802.11
interface.
In the absence of an external antenna, if the
attenuator is present, the value of this object is
is the amount of attenuation that is intended to be
introduced to control the output power, as
configured by the administrator.
The value of this object is reverted back by the
agent to the default gain corresponding to the PHY
type of the particular 802.11 interface, when both
the external antenna and the attenuator are
physically disconnected from the particular interface
and the gain configured earlier is cleared by the
administrator. |
