Does configured Antenna Gain affect the Powerlevel?

  • 1.  Does configured Antenna Gain affect the Powerlevel?

    Hello,

     

    on provisioning Page it is possible to set the Antenna Gain for the External Antennas. Does this Gain affect  the configured Power Output on the RF Profile? Or is it only informational and its necessary to Reduce the EIRP Power manual if an external Antenna is connected.

     

    Best Regards

    No. You so not have to reduce it manually. It is done automatically.
