Access Point Configuration
SSID
The AP SSID is used to identify the AP and is used to configure the SM with
the appropriate AP with which to register. Ensure that this parameter is
configured uniquely for each AP in the network.
Max Registrations
Allowed
Based on sector/network planning and SM service level implementations,
this parameter allows the user to set the maximum number of SMs that are
allowed to register/network entry. The maximum number of SMs allowed
for each channel bandwidth is as follows:
20/40 MHz : 120 subscribers
10 MHz : 60 subscribers
5 MHz: 30 subscribers
Default value is 60.
For DFS regions, the max number of SMs will be limited based on the
channel bandwidth of the current operating channel, i.e. Frequency Carrier,
Alternate Frequency Carrier 1 or Alternate Frequency Carrier 2.
Max Range
Enter a number of miles or kilometers for the furthest distance from which
an SM is allowed to register to this AP. Do not set the distance to any
greater number of miles. A greater distance:
does not increase the power of transmission from the AP.
can reduce aggregate throughput.
Regardless of this distance, the SM must meet the minimum requirements
for an acceptable link. The AP will reject any SM network entry attempts
from outside the configured maximum range. Default value is 3 miles.
WLAN
When the Access Point Mode is set to Standard WiFi, configure this
parameter:
Enabled: The ePMP AP operates as WLAN device and allows any 802.11
client to connect to it within a 100 meter radius.
Disabled: The ePMP AP operates in Standard WiFi mode to allow outdoor
802.11n clients to connect to it at longer distances and is typically used to
migrate non-Cambium SMs to ePMP SMs.
Automatic
Channel Selection
Enabled – This enables the Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) feature. ACS
allows the radio to scan the entire band (governed by the Country setting)
and chooses a channel with the lowest channel occupancy i.e. lowest
interference level. To run the ACS feature (once enabled), the radio will
have to be rebooted or manually triggered using Tools->Automatic Channel
Selection. When ACS is running, the radio measures the occupancy level of
the channel (measured in terms of an internal interference metric) and uses
an algorithm to make a decision to choose the best channel within the
band. The channel chosen is not based just on the occupancy level channel
but also the occupancy level of adjacent channels.
