Safety Instructions for Powering the Access Point
•

•
For a radiated test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power, antenna
gain, attenuation, and receiver sensitivity:
txpwr + tx gain + rx gain - [attenuation due to antenna spacing] < max rx input level
Where:
txpwr = Radio transmit power level
tx gain = transmitter antenna gain
rx gain = receiver antenna gain
For a conducted test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power,
antenna gain, and receiver sensitivity:
txpwr - [attenuation due to coaxial components] < max rx input level
Caution
Under no circumstances should you connect the antenna port from one access point to the antenna port
of another access point without using an RF attenuator. If you connect antenna ports, you must not
exceed the maximum survivable receive level of 0 dBm. Never exceed 0 dBm, or damage to the access
point can occur. Using attenuators, combiners, and splitters having a total of at least 60 dB of attenuation
ensures that the receiver is not damaged and that PER performance is not degraded.

Reduce the configured transmit power to the minimum level.
Use directional antennas, and keep them away from each other.
Cable the radios together using a combination of attenuators, combiners, or splitters to achieve a
attenuation of at least 60 dB.
