Using the GUI to Configure Pico Cell Mode

Follow these steps to configure pico cell mode using the controller GUI.
Disable the 802.11a or 802.11b/g network before changing pico cell mode parameters. To do so, click
Step 1
Wireless > 802.11a/n (or 802.11b/g/n) > Network and uncheck the 802.11a Network Status (or
802.11b/g Network Status) check box.
Step 2 Click Wireless > 802.11a/n (or 802.11b/g/n) > Pico Cell to open the 802.11a (or 802.11b/g) > Pico Cell

High-Density Network Example
High-density networking is supported on Cisco lightweight access points and on notebooks using
the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG clients.
In order to use pico cell mode version 2, the WMM policy for the Intel clients must be set to
Allowed.
To support high-density, both the client s and access points must be configured for high density. Do
not mix high-density and non-high-density devices in the same network.
High-density access points must be joined to a dedicated controller.
When you adjust the pico cell mode parameters, the following RRM values automatically change:
The default value of the Fixed option for the Power Level Assignment Method parameter [on
–
the 802.11a (or 802.11b) > RRM > Tx Power Control (TPC) page] reflects the power setting
that you specify for the pico cell Transmit Power parameter.
– The default value of the Power Threshold parameter [on the 802.11a (or 802.11b) > RRM > Tx
Power Control (TPC) page] reflects the value that you specify for the pico cell CCA Sensitivity
Threshold parameter.
