Subscriber Color Code
Rescan (When not on a
Primary Color Code)
This timer may be utilized to initiate SM rescans in order to register to an AP
configured with the SM‘s primary color code.
The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan (if this AP is not configured
with the SM‘s primary color code). This timer will only fire once – if the
Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle
timer is configured with a nonzero
value and the
Subscriber Color Code Rescan
expires, the
Subscriber Color Code
Wait Period for Idle
will be started. If the
Subscriber Color Code Wait Period
for Idle
timer is configured with a zero value and the
Subscriber Color Code
Rescan
timer expires, the SM will immediately go into rescan mode
Subscriber Color Code
Wait Period for Idle
The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan while idle (if this AP is not
configured with the SM‘s primary color code). This timer will fire periodic
events. The fired event determines if any RF unicast traffic (either inbound or
outbound) has occurred since the last event. If the results of the event
determine that no RF unicast traffic has occurred (SM is idle), then the
subscriber will rescan.
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. While the SM is accessible for configuration from above
the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for local site
provisioning), no user data is passed over the radio link. SMs with Installation
Color Code enabled will first try any configured Color Code values first, then
will use the Installation Color Code feature as a last result to connect to the
AP. 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. If an SM is
registered via Installation Color Code and the feature is then disabled,
operators will need to reboot the SM or force it to reregister (i.e. using
the
Rescan APs
functionality on the AP Eval page).
Power Save Mode
Select either
Enabled
(the default), to reduce module power consumption by approximately
10% without affecting the transmitter output power. This is the recommended
setting.
Disabled
, to continue normal power consumption, but do so only under
guidance from technical support.
Sector ID
Specify a number in the range 1 to 6 to associate with this AP. The Sector ID
setting does not affect the operation of the AP. On the AP Evaluation tab of
the Tools page in the SM, the
Sector ID
field identifies the AP that the SM
sees. The following steps may be useful:
1.
Assign a unique Sector ID to each sector in an AP cluster.
2.
Repeat the assignment pattern throughout the entire system.
