I have an AP515 with 8.6 OS and i am little confused with the arm functions and survey.
I have an indoor open area of 9,500 SF with 20' ceiling.
I setup one AP almost default, setup the ssid and did the survey. very low reading even near the ap between -68 and -58
* have to powered with PoE switch since the radio was in a 5min power loop
I setup another AP convert to stand alone, setup ssid and dhcp server but instead of automatic radio management i choose a free channel and 15dbw as power , the reading where -58 to -40
* this one remian powered with just an injector
* both APs were just powered, meaning it didnt have any client associate to it.
my confusion is how ARM correlate with the survey readings.
1. its because since it have no client assoc. the power is at minimum hence the reading difference as when the power is preset at 15dbw?
2. whats the difference between :
under Configuration->Access Points->Radio and choose between ARM and admin assigned and choose channel and power and
under Configuration->RF->access point control min and max power and
under Configuration->RF->radio and under each band customize the default profile arm power range
