Ruckus Power Settings

Trying to work in Ekahau and figure this out. So if I set an AP power to 4dBm or 3dBm in Rukus what would that equate to?

Am
I taking the full power value of the band for instance 20dB and then if I choose -3dBm in Ruckus that would change to 10dB and if I want 4dBm I can do -7dBm approximately?

Also I can't seem to find a command that will give me the EIRP in the AP.  Tried this:

rkscli: get txpower wifi0
 wifi0 transmit power set to -3 dB from max power


So is that telling me that the AP power is 17dBm?

I don't have an option to run that command "iwconfig wlan0".  I am using R600 with VSz HS. 

And looks like I can't setup the power level from 1db to 9db since the menu option jumps to "Min" from -10db?  There is no way for me to setup the Tx power on the Ruckus AP's to 3db in VSz HS?

Can you tell me how can I access the screen to run the iwconfig command?

Sorry, that requires Shell access.

Is there anyway to get this result ported over into regular shell so that we can see the current dBm values? .. this is extremely useful to those of us that need this data in order to plan out surveys.

The correct and most effective answer is, please open a ticket and file a Feature Request.
Product Marketing has long pushed for all Customer features to be available in our WebUI,
not require CLI and least of all shell access. 
And Developers consider anything not currently in software, to be a new WebUI function, and
ask that it be documented in a FR (filed by your TAC engineer if you open a case and ask for it).
These do get visibility, but are weighed against the many other software feature requests pending.
