|
GPS Synchronization Receive Indicator |
Green indicates that the AP is receiving a valid GPS synchronization timing pulse via a connected GPS antenna or a CMM. Red indicates that the AP is not receiving GPS synchronization due to lack of satellite fix. Grey indicates that the AP is not receiving GPS synchronization due to configuration of Synchronization Source to Internal. |
|
Notifications Button |
The Notifications button may be clicked to display system messaging. When a new notification is available, the icon is highlighted and displays the number of notifications available. The outer icon highlighting indicates the type of notification pending: Green: Successful operation has completed (i.e. Changes successfully saved) Grey: Informational message (i.e. tips regarding GUI operation) Blue: Operations information message (i.e. Initializing upgrade…) Orange: Warning message (i.e. Login session has expired) Red: Error message (i.e. Software update file download failed) |
|
Active Users Indicator |
When the mouse pointer is hovered over this indicator, it displays the number of active Read-Only and Read-Write users currently logged into the radio. |
|
Undo Button |
The Undo button may be used to undo changes prior to a Save operation. All changes made on any section of the GUI are undone. |
|
Save Button |
The Save button is used to commit configuration changes to the device. When configuration changes are made, the outer area of the icon is highlighted blue to indicate that a save operation is required. |
|
Reset Button |
The Reset button is used to reset the device. When a configuration change requires a radio reset, the outer area of this icon is highlighted orange to indicate that a reset is necessary to complete the change. |
|
Logout Button |
The Logout button is used to logout from the current session and return to the initial GUI landing page (login screen). |

The AP dashboard contains the following attributes:
Attribute |
Meaning |
Device Name |
The configured device name of the AP, used for identifying the device in an NMS such as the Cambium Network Services Server (CNSS). |
SSID |
The current configured name/SSID of the AP. |
Operating Frequency |
The current frequency carrier used for radio transmission, based on the configuration of the Frequency Carrier parameter (in DFS regions, if a radar has been detected, this field may display either DFS Alternate Frequency Carrier 1 or DFS Alternate Frequency Carrier 2). |
Operating Channel Bandwidth |
The current channel bandwidth used for radio transmission, based on the configuration of the Channel Bandwidth parameter. |
Transmitter Output Power |
The current operating transmit power of the AP. |
Antenna Gain |
The configured gain of the external antenna. |
Country |
The current configured country code, which has an effect on DFS operation and transmit power restrictions. Registered Subscriber Modules will inherit this country code when registration is complete (unless SM is locked to US region). |
Access Point Mode |
TDD: The Access Point is operating in point-to-multipoint (PMP) mode using TDD scheduling. The AP is able to GPS synchronize in this mode (except when in Flexible mode). ePTP Master: The Access Point is operating as a Master in point-to-point mode. The AP does not support GPS Synchronization in this mode but is able to provide significantly lower latency than other modes. QoS (MIR and traffic priority) capability and Link Quality/Capacity indicators are not available in this mode. PTP: The Access Point is operating in point-to-point (PTP) mode using TDD scheduling. The AP is able to GPS synchronize in this mode (except when in Flexible mode). |
Downlink/Uplink Frame Ratio |
The current configured schedule of downlink traffic to uplink traffic on the radio link. In other words, this ratio represents the amount of the total radio link’s aggregate throughput that will be used for downlink resources and the amount of the total radio link’s aggregate throughput that will be used for uplink resources. |
Wireless Security |
The current configured authentication type used for radio link encryption as well as SM authentication. |
cnMaestro Remote Management |
Indicates whether the device is currently configured to be managed by the Cambium cloud management system – cnMaestro™. |
cnMaestro Connection Status |
The current management status of the device with respect to the Cambium Cloud Server. When Enabled under Configuration->System, the device will be managed by the Cambium Remote Management System, which allows all Cambium devices to be managed from the Cambium Cloud Server. |
cnMaestro Account ID |
The ID that the device is currently using to be managed by the Cambium Cloud Server. |
Wireless MAC Address |
The MAC address of the device wireless interface. |
Ethernet MAC Address |
The MAC address of the device Ethernet (LAN) interface. |
IP Address |
The current configured device IP address (LAN) used for management access. |
IPv6 Link Local Address |
A link-local address is required for the IPv6-enabled interface (applications may rely on the link-local address even when there is no IPv6 routing). The IPv6 link-local address is comparable to the auto-configured IPv4 address 169.254.0.0/16. |
IPv6 Address |
The IPv6 address for device management. |
Date and Time |
The current date and time on the device, subject to the configuration of parameter Time Zone. |
System Uptime |
The total uptime of the radio since the last reset. |
System Description |
The current configured system description. |
Sync Source Status |
Displays the current source (GPS, CMM or Internal) of sync timing for the AP. |
Device Coordinates |
The current configured Latitude and Longitude coordinates in decimal format. |
DFS Status |
Current DFS operational status. |
Ethernet Status |
Up: The Ethernet (LAN) interface is functioning properly. This also displays the current port speed and duplex mode to which the Ethernet port has auto-negotiated to or configured for. Down: The Ethernet (LAN) interface is either disconnected or it has encountered an error and is not servicing traffic. |
Wireless Status |
Up: The radio (WAN) interface is functioning properly Down: The radio (WAN) interface has encountered an error and is not servicing traffic. |
Registered Subscriber Modules |
The total number of SMs currently registered to the AP. |
Smart Antenna (ePMP 2000 only) |
Beginning with Software Release 3.4, the ePMP 2000 unit automatically detects when the Smart Antenna is connected or disconnected (without requiring a reboot). Smart Antenna is Connected, Power On: ePMP 2000 is communicating with the Smart Antenna, and a proper power supply is in use Smart Antenna is Connected, Power Off:: ePMP 2000 established communication with the Smart Antenna, but subsequent communication errors occurred or an improper power supply was detected Smart Antenna is Disconnected: Communication between ePMP 2000 and Smart Antenna is down |
Power Supply |
This field indicates the type of power supply being used to power ePMP 2000. Values are 802.3at and Generic Power Supply. |
