Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

Hello,

I need to know if the transmission power of the beacon frame in AP mode of CC3200 module is fixed or is it variable depending on the transmission power selected by the automatic RF management Algorithm??

Regards,

Ahmad Alas'ad

    Ahmad,

    Tx power level can be configured both for STA and AP mode. You can set a number b/w 0-15 as dB offset from maximum power - Please note that '0' set the maximum Tx power.

    Code Snippet for setting AP mode Tx power level:

    unsigned char  appower=(unsigned char)power;
sl_WlanSet(SL_WLAN_CFG_GENERAL_PARAM_ID,
           WLAN_GENERAL_PARAM_OPT_AP_TX_POWER,
           1,(unsigned char *)&appower);

    hello Praneet,

    Thank you for your answer,

    so if I set the Tx power to 0 (maximum power), then the 802.11 beacon frame broadcast  and the user data transmission will have the same transmission power level?

    Thanks and Best Regards,
