AP with Power Level 0

Hello community,
in the wireless LAN infrastructure of my customer, I noticed some 1142 Accesspoints with Power Level 0 (TPC). I tried to configure this via Prime (1.3) and directly at the Controller (5508, 7.0) but you can´t set it (the pull down menu is empty).  As far as I know, you can set the Power Level to 1-8. I only know this effect with autonomous Accesspoints migrated in Prime.
Does someone know what happens or how to fix it? Is it a known Bug?
Thank you in advance,
Benjamin

Hi, it's code 7.0.240.0. On both controller and prime It looks the same: on some 1142 Accesspoints power level is set to "0" and I can't change it. I have to add, only 802.11a radios seem to have this problem.
I think the sw version is supported with prime 1.3

Benjamin

  • TX Power Levels are low after WLC upgrade to 7.0.98.0

    I recently upgraded our WLC 4404 to release 7.0.98.0.  The process was very smooth with no
    issues.  The controller manages access points in two buildings. Prior to the upgrade the access points were maintaining high TX power levels...typically between 1 and 3.  After the upgrade the power levels all droped to 6 and 8.  I have confirmed that the correct external antenas have been set for each access point.  I have not done a site survey to see if the lower power levels are acceptable.  But the environment has been very consistent for the past year with regards to TX power levels.  For the time being I have manually set a power level of 2 to prevent any service outages. Is there any explanation as to why the power levels have changed so drastically?

    My customer is having a simlar problem with 2106 controller and 1131 AG access point.
    After I upgrade the controller for 7.0.98.218, the access points was setting automaticly by controller with power level "0".
    When its happening I see the follwing logs

  • Error Message while trying to burn a DVD-R with my MacBook Pro: "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

    While using my Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 to burn a DVD-R I keep getting the error message: "This disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
    So, I tried the iDVD and got the same error message.
    Can anyone out there help me? I've tried both a DVD - R, and a CD.
    I made a short 2:20 minute presentation from iMovie and used the "share" to iDVD, then to iTunes, then I tried exporting it to Quicktime and saved it on my desk top. That is when I tried burning by opening the blank DVD-R in the finder then draging the movie on to it and selecting the burn option. Thank you for your time in helping me with this frustrating problem.
    Peace, Pyxidis

    I have had that same problem, but it was unrelated to any upgrade.
    In my case the optical drive was simply failing, and I replaced it - it was a Powerbook, about eight years old.
    It is possible that it's unrelated to Lion, as unlikely as this may seem, since you've just upgraded.
    Optical drives seem to be the most life-limited component in these computers. The laser just seems to get weak with age.

    Hi I am having the identical problem with my 24" intel iMac 2007..... Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm on round 3 now and with a completely blank grey screen and it won't start up from the disk 1.. I also have diskwarrior and techtool pro as well as the osx leopard and snow leopard disk... The HD is new.. Replaced by apple 3 months ago.. Don't know the cause the first time this happened about 9 months ago.. 2nd time, 6 months ago it never rebooted from the office for mac 2008 critical update... Did a clean install after backing up to TC... Took it to apple replaced HD even though it appeared ok, they checked all hardware and I ran techtool pro daily ever since. Last week software update had several updates avail. Office for mac being one of them.. I updated and have never booted since.. . I swear to never ever use another Microsoft product as long as I live if I can just fix this once more... Help me please

  • How do I deal with this error message when burning DVD's: The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

    I am getting this error message when trying to burn a DVD: The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media. iMac, Mac OS X 10.6.8 Memorex DVD-R 12x Any ideas?

    First, try a different batch of recordable DVDs. If you still have problems, you may want to make an appointment at the genius bar and have it checked. The drive may be failing.

  • Adjusting the Maximum Power level Assignment Value

    I have a deployment of AIR-CAP35021 APs. They are in 2 buildings with multiple floors. They are installed in a row down the hallways. I want to increase the power levels by using the controller and not configuring the APs individually. I have set the TPC value to -50 but I still do not reach the outer walls of the floors in some areas. I need to know what to set the Max Power Level Assignment or Min Power Level Assignment to to get the APs to power up some more. If the MAX value is 30 and the default is 30 then how will it help to adjust that value?. Any help would be appreciated.

    the default on most code revs is Max at 30 and the min is -10   (note the minus sign).. If your survey was done at 25 mw with a 1252, what type of antenna was on the 1252?? if it was a stick omni it may have a higher gain than the ap's your now using. That could also be coming into play here.
    so initally I'd determine what the actual EIRP you were using during the survey and then figure out how to match that now.
    if you aren't familiar with EIRP it's basically the radiated transmit power at the antenna output. So a quick example
    If your ap is putting out 25mw or 14dBm and you are using a 6dBi antenna then your EIRP is 20dBm or 100mw
    if your ap is putting out 25mw or 14dBm and you are using a 2.2dBi antenna then your EIRP is 16.2dBm or 50mw
    I believe the 3502i's use a 2.2 dBi integrated antenna.
    this can cause a drastic change in your coverage area.
    but if all else fails change the TPC controls so that max power is either 20dBm or 30dBm and that the minimum has a value of either 14 or 17 (no minus sign).. 
    30dBm = 1 watt
    29dBm = 800mw
    26dBm = 400mw
    23dBm = 200mw
    20dBm = 100mw       TXPower Level 1
    17dBm = 50mw         TXPower Level 2
    14dBm = 25mw         TXPower Level 3
    11dBm = 12.5mw      TXPower Level 4
    etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • New Windows 7 formats Time server idle power levels

    Hi,  I am a new user of an NMH405 which I hope to upgrade to 3TB or 1.5TB raid1 (not 100% yet).  I bought the unit as a NAS unit (but chose this model as it was on special offer) hoping that I could use the media server features later.
    I have the unit working as a NAS using the original drive and have come up with some questions that I cannot find answered either in the documentation or the FAQ's and community posts.
    First Windows 7 appears to be only partialy supported.  The folder locations for media are different to Vista and there are new formats such as .WTV which replaces .DVR-MS as the default TV format.  The supplied backup software didn't install correctly and the update (well I think the import software is updated) on the website is hidden inside a huge .ISO file which is going to take hours to download.  However reading the posts indicates that the .DVR-MS format is only half supported.  Solutions involve editing an .XML file or customising the NTI backup in order to get files onto the server.  .WTV is not even mentioned anywhere.
    Is fully realised Windows 7 support going to be in the next release? and approximately when?
    I decided to use a static IP address for the server as I have been suffering master browser problems with Windows networking.  However I then ran into the Time server bug and had an 8 hour 14 minute offset to the system time.  I have temporarily solved this by assigning a reserved address in my DHCP server and reverting to DHCP mode.  However during the process I found that the NMH405 had become the master browser and solved the initial problem - ACE.
    Fix next firmware update?
    Drive support.  This is difficult to keep up to date and June 2009 is a little out of date.  Well hidden as well, I first found the list by accident but have since had difficulty finding it deliberately.  No "Avoid these drives" list though, but there is sporadic indiction of non-compatibility in the forums.  The list is date 7 days before the .ISO image and of course long before the October date of the latest firmware.  Cannot find an update notice indicating changes - e.g. drive support.
    Make it easier to find and try to keep it more up to date.
    Power levels and drive spin down.  From the data sheet 60W is the only indication, however a link to a third party indicates 13W but no spin down?.  With the emphasis on "Green Power" in the US I am suprised this information is not in bold in the data sheet (though other NAS vendors also hide it).  My unit will spend 80% of its life idle, I do hope the drives do get to spin down and extend their life and save power.
    Is direct Cisco information available rather than just third party?
    Finally perhaps a silly query, but why not.  Can I use a USB hub and attach multiple drives externally?
    StokersSon

    Hi,
    Thanks Wilkins377 for your two cents.  At least I know it should work.
    Well I now have upgraded to 2 x 1.5GB drives (not in the approved list) and have them working 100% as a raid pair.  Also Firmware to 3.18.15
    Using a USB hub I have got multiple HDD USB drives working - including NTFS formatted (read only of course).  So the hardware is all functional.
    However no matter how I format my 2GB and 4GB flash drives (FAT or FAT32 including alternate allocation size) the  mediahub does not see them in either port directly or the powered hub.  I am using an XP machine to format them.  An SD card is seen OK.
    Well flash is not important, being able to use multiple USB for backup and networked access is.  I am not likely to need to use the hub ports for media import as it is easier to get access to my PC and place the hub out of reach.
    I still cannot tell if the drives spin down, they are still quite warm after several hours of only the media hub and router being powered.  I need to get a stethascope and listen if they spin up on access, the nearby PC fans are too noisy.

  • Will an iPhone automatically turn off location services.  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and so how you disable this in settings.

    I am working with Georgia DOT and we have created an app to track our state vehicles using IPhone 5. My question is: will an iPhone automatically turn off location services?  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and if so how do you disable this in settings.
    Message was edited by: mickyel

    I don't believe that this will happen, however, the entire iPhone will shut down when the iPhone reaches the auto-shutdown power level. There is no way to turn that Off other that connecting the iPhone to power.

  • CDs work but not DVDs "device failed to calibrate laser power level for med

    Hi
    I've been having a problem with my disc drive.
    I can burn CDs but not DVDs. Have OS 10.5.6.
    While trying to burn an error message comes up saying
    "This disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media?
    I tried to go into Apps - Utilities - Disk utilities and repair, but this message still shows up and refuses to burn anything even in Toast.
    Please help. Any advice would be valuable. Thanks.

    I don't think the drive may be dirty, because wouldn't the CDs not work as well?
    Not necessarily. Different lasers, different power levels, etc.
    It's really a dual drive: CD and DVD. Almost two separate devices with a common motor and platen,etc.
    You can get a cleaning CD from RadioShack and elsewhere. Get the dry one with the small brushes. Works fine on everything but a notebook.

  • Full range of power levels on GPU? (Radeon Mobility X1400, I think)

    As per wiki article, power levels can be set to a range of mid to high, or to low, but not a range of low to high. Auto is documented as never going low, and dynpm simply doesn't. I can't seem to find a way to seamlessly utilize the low clock/voltages based on load, which means my notebook either handles video kind of poorly, or runs awfully toasty, and will chew up more battery than it needs to when not plugged in. Effectively, what I'm looking for the video equivalent to the conservative CPU governor.
    Is there a way to effectively get single-head power saving to work as it aught to, where an idle GUI properly runs at at a low power state, but ramps up when needed, without temporarily freezing the display (as occurs when changing power profiles or methods)?

  • Laser power levels

    everytime I try and burn a playlist in i-tunes i get the error message tht the laser power level could not be calibrated for this media. I have tried many different brands of cd-r disks, verbatim, maxell, tdk... one of the tdk worked on the first disk of a multiple cd playlist but gave me the same message on the second. I can burn data onto dvd-r disks with no problem and have burned audio onto dvd-r in i-tunes with no problem. I do get error code
    0x8002006D when i try to burn data on a cd-r outside of i-tunes. lowering the burn rate does nothing, and a few times a cd-r that didn't work suddenly got past the calibrate error only to stop with a medium write error. what can I do?

    The most obvious reason I can think of, is a dirty lens or a (large) dust particle on it.
    You can burn DVD, but get errors with CD. As the layers on those two media are at different depths, that could explain it.
    Try compressed air to clean it. Of course it has to be free of traces of oil.
    Be careful with it. Most 'compressed air' aerosols are in fact carbon dioxide, which, when used excessive, can freeze and damage delicate components.
    An alternative would be a cleaning disc if compressed air doesn't help.
    These normally don't work in slot loading drives.

  • Burner - device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

    The burn to the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E drive failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
    Huh?? Have no idea what this means, after a forum search am more confused... I don't think I've installed any software that has effected it (suggested in other discussions) The only other one that might have been useful was archived and I couldn't work out how to read all the threads so if anyone can help with this error message that would be awesome.

    I just wanted to share my experience with this issue:
    Early 2008 Mac Pro with two 16x SuperDrives (Sony NEC Optiarc 7170A). BOTH SuperDrives stopped working properly at the same time. After a few months of burning only CDs, I suddenly found myself unable to burn DVDs.
    I could read and write CDs, but I could only read, not write, DVDs. Attempts to burn DVDs gave the dreaded "could not calibrate laser for this media" message in Finder, Disk Utility, and Burn. (console Burn error: 0x8002006D The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.)
    The fact that both SuperDrives went bad at the same time made me think that it had to be either the media or a software/firmware glitch.
    I tried Memorex, TDK, and Verbatim media; neither would write. I tried canned air, a DVD-cleaning-disc kit, resetting SMC and PRAM (which of course involved rebooting), the International pref pane trick, even tried flashing the drive firmware with new and old firmware revisions. My last resort was to install Snow Leopard on a blank partition; I still got the same error message when trying to burn a DVD from the brand new, fresh OS install.
    It seemed ridiculous to have a $3,000 machine unable to burn DVDs, so I ended up purchasing two new SuperDrives from MacSales/OWC. (Apple Original Pioneer DVR-112D-BK Internal [Black Bezel] 'SuperDrive' up to 16X DVD+/-R, up to 8X DVD+/-RW, Up to 8X Dual Layer +/-R DL, up to 32X CDR/RW Burner.) These were available to ship the same day for $34/ea.
    I just received them; it took only 15 minutes to swap out the old drives with the new ones. They work perfectly, on all my media.
    I suppose $70 for two new drives is more than worth the frustration of trying to resolve this problem by other means. I hope my experience can help others with this same issue.

  • Min Receive signal power level at the atur from atuc

    Hi can someone help me with the min receive signal power level at the atur from atuc on a adsl router

    Hi Srikanth, 
    Just to get some background info, what type of signals are being generated? What device are you using to measure these signals?  Are all of your impedances appropriately matched?  And finally would it be possible to attach the file used for waveform generation?  What I am mainly curious about is if you are trying to generate a single signal at 70MHz or if you are trying to generate at 70, 72, 68,and 66MHz at different power levels.

  • CD Burn error message "unable to calibrate laser for power level"

    Using 10.4.3
    CD's are maybe 6 months old;
    Problem is fairly recent, but I'm not sure if I've burned anything since I upgrade to this OS.
    CD/DVD hardware works to read cd's
    I cleaned up the start-up disc to create lots of room.
    Any ideas?

    wolfemama,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Blank disks six months old can be bad if from a bad manufacturing batch or if poorly stored (refer to the NIST's Care and Handling of CDs and DVDs), so try a blank CD-R from a different known-good source first (e.g., ask friends who've recently made sucessful burns for a blank disk, or ask them to try one of your blanks to see if the discs work on other computers).
    It can also help to run a CD lens cleaner through the drive. The power level required to burn a disc is greater than that used to read a disc, so a CD lens partially covered in grime may work to read but not to write.
    You can also test if the burn with the existing discs will work if you progressively lower the burn speed e.g. from 8x to 4x speed.

  • Error Message: "device failed to calibrate the laser power level..."

    Receiving error message "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
    What does this mean? What do I need to do? Happens with every disc I try.

    It means your superdrive/optical drive has failed. That error, in my experience, is always a hardware problem. If you're under warranty, it will most likely be covered, unless there is any accidental damage to your system.
    If you're out of warranty, optical drives aren't the most expensive component in the world if it's something you need on a regular basis.
