Hi, Liang

There is one issue in this part. 
When you find one frequency level can't be support on the server
we used,  you return directly. This will skip the set_policy step in the following. 
If skip the set_policy step, the behavior will be the power lib always 
execute the training steps, even we set the policy.state=MED_NORMAL in the sample.  
This will confuse the user, they don’t know why they can't skip the training steps even
the sample is already configured to --empty-poll=0,xxxxx,xxxxxx

BRs
Lei
