       0x1E = 30 decimal = 30 dBm per port
       
Power guidelines:
  • 33 dBm — Maximum range (~10m), dock doors
  • 30 dBm — Standard range (~6-8m), general use
  • 25 dBm — Medium range (~3-5m), conveyor belts
  • 20 dBm — Short range (~1-2m), point-of-sale
  • 15 dBm — Near-field (~0.5m), shelf readers
