A wireless barcode scanner on a plant floor finds the closest AP that is set to power level 7 statically. However, the scanner has trouble associating and sending data. Which action fixes this issue?

The correct answer is D. Turn on TPC in the controller. The issue occurs because the AP is set to a static transmit power level, which may not provide optimal coverage for the barcode scanner. Turning on Transmit Power Control (TPC) allows the controller to dynamically adjust AP transmit power levels to provide better coverage and…

Explanation

The issue occurs because the AP is set to a static transmit power level, which may not provide optimal coverage for the barcode scanner. Turning on Transmit Power Control (TPC) allows the controller to dynamically adjust AP transmit power levels to provide better coverage and reliable connectivity for clients, resolving the scanner’s association and data transmission problems.
