Attribute |
Meaning |
Registered AP SSID |
SSID of the AP to which the SM is registered. |
Registered AP MAC address |
Wireless MAC address of the AP to which the SM is registered. |
Distance from AP |
The distance from the AP, determined by radio signal propagation delay. |
Operating Frequency |
The current frequency at which the SM is transmitting and receiving. |
Operating Channel Bandwidth |
The current channel size at which the SM is transmitting and receiving. |
Downlink RSSI |
The Received Signal Strength Indicator, which is a measurement of the power level being received by the SM’s antenna. |
Downlink SNR |
The Signal to Noise Ratio, which is an expression of the carrier signal quality with respect to signal noise. |
Transmitter Output Power |
The current power level at which the SM is transmitting. |
Uplink MCS |
Modulation and Coding Scheme – indicates the modulation mode used for the radio uplink, based on radio conditions (MCS 1-7, 9-15). |
Downlink MCS |
Modulation and Coding Scheme – indicates the modulation mode used for the radio downlink, based on radio conditions (MCS 1-7, 9-15). |
Power Control Mode from AP |
Open Loop: In this mode, the SM will not receive any power change information in the Group Poll Frame. SM calculates the UL transmit power based on path loss calculations only. Closed Loop: In closed loop UL power control, Subscriber Module will get the AP actual transmit power of beacon frame and SM Target Received Power Level in the beacon. Based on these two values, SM calculates the path loss. Based on path loss and TRL values it calculates it’s transmit power such that the signal from SM arrives at AP at the configured target level. Path loss calculation will be updated by SM every time there is a change in values of AP actual TX power or TRL in the Beacon. |
Forced Sector Antenna |
When an ePMP 2000 AP is deployed with a Sector Antenna and a Smart Antenna, this parameter forces the AP to use only Sector Antenna for all Subscriber Modules. |
Ethernet Interface |
Up: The radio (LAN) interface is functioning properly. Down: The radio (LAN) interface has encountered an error and is not servicing traffic. |
Wireless Interface |
Up: The radio (WAN) interface is functioning properly. Down: The radio (WAN) interface has encountered an error and is not servicing traffic. |
Country |
The current code the SM is operating under. |
Time since last scan |
Amount of time elapsed since the last scan was completed by the SM for available APs. |
Registration Status |
The current registration status of the SM. |
Available APs |
The Available AP list may be referenced to view which APs are available for SM network entry, and also to view the status of the current AP to SM radio link. |
Add as Preferred |
Click the button to add the AP to the Preferred AP List under Configuration->Radio. |
SSID |
The SSID of the visible AP. |
MAC Address |
The MAC address of the visible AP. |
Frequency Carrier (MHz) |
The current operating frequency of the visible AP. |
Channel Bandwidth |
The current operating channel bandwidth of the visible AP. |
RSSI (dBm) |
The current measured Received Signal Strength Indicator at the AP. |
SNR (dB) |
The current measured Signal-to-Noise Ratio of the SM to AP link. |
Registration State |
The indication of the result of the SM’s network entry attempt: Successful: SM registration is successful Failed: Out of Range: The SM is out of the AP’s configured maximum range (Max Range parameter) Failed: Capacity limit reached at AP: The AP is no longer allowing SM network entry due to capacity reached Failed: No Allocation on AP: The SM to AP handshaking failed due to a misconfigured pre-shared key between the SM and AP Failed: SW Version Incompatibility: The version of software resident on the AP is older than the software version on the SM Failed: PTP Mode: ACL Policy: The AP is configured with PTP Access set to MAC Limited and the SM’s MAC address is not configured in the AP’s PTP MAC Address field Failed: Other: The AP does not have the required available memory to allow network entry |
Session Time (hh:mm:ss) |
This timer indicates the time elapsed since the SM registered to the AP. |
Wireless Security |
This field indicates the security state of the AP to SM link. |
Meets Reg Criteria |
Yes: The scanned AP meets the Network Entry criteria defined by the internal Network Algorithm. No: The scanned AP does not meet the Network Entry criteria defined by the internal Network Algorithm. |
