The correct answer is D. from -70 dBm to -67 dBm. To globally increase AP transmit power when Dynamic Transmit Power Control (DTPC) is setting it too low, the DTPC transmit power threshold must be adjusted to a numerically higher value.

Question

A WLAN was installed at a high AP density. DTPC is lowering the transmit power of many APs too low. Which change m the DTPC transmit power threshold must be made to allow APs to globally increase AP transmit power by 3dBm?

Options

  • Afrom 70 dBm to 73 dBm
  • Bfrom -70 dBm to -73 dBm
  • Cfrom 70 dBm to 67 dBm
  • Dfrom -70 dBm to -67 dBm

Why each option

To globally increase AP transmit power when Dynamic Transmit Power Control (DTPC) is setting it too low, the DTPC transmit power threshold must be adjusted to a numerically higher value.

Afrom 70 dBm to 73 dBm

Changing the threshold from 70 dBm to 73 dBm uses positive dBm values, which are not typical for RSSI thresholds that are usually negative.

Bfrom -70 dBm to -73 dBm

Changing the threshold from -70 dBm to -73 dBm would lower the threshold, causing DTPC to potentially decrease AP transmit power further as clients would appear to have stronger signals relative to the new, lower threshold.

Cfrom 70 dBm to 67 dBm

Changing the threshold from 70 dBm to 67 dBm uses positive dBm values and represents a decrease in the threshold, which would not result in an increase in transmit power.

Dfrom -70 dBm to -67 dBmCorrect

DTPC uses a receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) threshold; increasing the threshold from -70 dBm to -67 dBm makes APs perceive weaker signals relative to the threshold, thereby commanding them to increase their transmit power by 3dBm to compensate.
