3. If the maximum transmitter power allowed is less than 30 dBm, set
the power to the desired level using the iNET Management System.

For convenience, Table 5-2 lists several antenna system gains and
shows the maximum allowable power setting of the radio. Note that a
gain of 6 dB or less entitles you to operate the radio at full power output
–30 dBm (1 Watt).
* Most antenna manufacturers rate antenna gain in dBd in their literature. To
convert to dBi, add 2.15 dB.
† Feedline loss varies by cable type and length. To determine the loss for
common lengths of feedline, see Table 5-1 on Page 101.
