My question refers to the 3600i Access Points. I query the controller using "show ap config 802.11a APNAME" to get the power level to dBm conversion and I obtain the following example result for channel 36:
Tx Power
Num Of Supported Power Levels.......................7
Tx Power Level 1..................................14 dBm
Tx Power Level 2..................................11 dBm
Tx Power Level 3................................... 8 dBm
etc.
Are these Power Levels per radio chain? If yes, then when transmitting data using 3x3 MIMO at Power Level 1, the total output power will be 3 x 14 dBm = 18 dBm. On the other hand when transmitting only the beacon at Power Level 1, then the output power will be 14 dBm.
I would appreciate confirmation of the above.
Thanks.
