I've been searching the forums with no luck. Customer is reporting their SM dropping signal fairly regularly. The following messages appear fewquently in the SM Power Adjust Log:
12/30/2014 : 17:16:06 UTC : Event: SMSESMSG, MsgType: PAREQTO, NewState: REGISTERED, Flag 0 12/30/2014 : 17:16:06 UTC : Event: SMSESMSG, MsgType: PASRSP, NewState: REGISTERED, Flag 4
Every 2 minutes the SM Power Adjust Log is updated with a Power Adjust Request Time Out (PAREQTO) and waits for a Power Adjust Response (PASRP). You should expect to see these messages in the SM Poer Adjust Log. Is the SM which the customer is calling about showing a high number of registrations and re-registrations under the APs session page? In a perfect install the session counts should show 1 Session, 1 Registration, 0 Re-registration.
To add to Tom's reply, these power adjust messages are completely normal part of the PMP system. This is the mechanism where the AP is controlling the SM’s transmit power.
This is most likely not the cause of SM’s dropping session.
We are not aware of session drop issues on 13.2. Is your whole sector upgraded to 13.2? 13.2 does not interoperate well with releases before it.
Transmit Power : 22 dBm (target power [32 dBm] exceeded maximum)
So that makes sense, the SM wants to increase to 32dBm but cannot go above 22dBm, a gap of 10dB. This matches the Rx power at the AP being approx 10dB too low compared to Rx target level.
Can you give some more details about the SM drops, is it just this one SM ? have you seen a change with s/w versions etc. I may ask for field_diags.cgi if you have a Medusa as the AP and engineer.cgi from the SM (and AP if not Medusa). These should be emailed to me, not posted to forum.
