SMs may be configured with up to 20 color codes. These color codes can be
tagged as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary, or Disable. When the SM is
scanning for APs, it will first attempt to register to an AP that matches one
of the SM’s primary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning
and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SM’s secondary
color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to
register to an AP that matches one of the SM’s tertiary color codes. This is all
done in the scanning mode of the SM and will repeat until a registration has
occurred.
Color codes in the same priority group are treated equally. For example, all
APs matching one of the SM’s primary color codes are analyzed equally.
Likewise, this evaluation is done for the secondary and tertiary groups in
order. The analysis for selecting an AP within a priority group is based on
various inputs, including signal strength and number of SMs already
registered to each AP.
The first color code in the configuration is the pre-Release 9.5 color code.
Thus, it is always a primary color code for legacy reasons.
The color codes can be disabled, with the exception of the first color code.
Installation Color
Code
With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and
remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes
between the modules. When using the Installation Color Code feature,
ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code
configuration (Color Code 1 is “0”, Color Code 2-10 set to “0” and “Disable”).
The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web
GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code
the message “SM is registered via ICC – Bridging Disabled!” is displayed in
red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is
configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM.
Large VC data Queue
SM and BH have a configurable option used to prevent packet loss in the
uplink due to bursting IP traffic. This is designed for IP burst traffic particular
to video surveillance applications.
MIMO Rate Adapt
Algorithm
This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Rate Adapt Algorithm to
MIMO-A/B, MIMO-B only, or MIMO-A only.
Downlink Maximum
Modulation Rate
This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Downlink Maximum Modulation
Rate at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 6X, or 8X. The default value is
“8X”.
Uplink Maximum
Modulation Rate
This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Uplink Maximum Modulation
Rate at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 6X, or 8X. The default value is
“8X”.
External Gain Fixed
This value represents the fixed antenna gain. The fixed antenna gain for Mid-
Gain is 16 dBi and High Gain is 23 dBi.
For ODUs with integrated antenna, this is set at the correct value in the
factory.
