PMP 450 Planning Guide Glossary
To simplify operation and ensure compliance, an SM takes on the DFS type of the AP to which it registers. For
example, when an SM in Europe registers to an AP with the Country Code set to “United Kingdom”, that SM
will use ETSI DFS, no matter what its Country Code is set to, even if its Country Code is set to “None”. Note,
the operator should still configure the Country Code in the SM correctly, as future releases may use the
Country Code for additional region-specific options.
For all modules running DFS, the module displays its DFS state on its Home => General Status page as one of
the following:
Checking Channel Availability Remaining time n seconds,
where n counts down from 60
to 1.
Normal Transmit
Radar Detected Stop Transmitting for n minutes,
where n counts down from 30 to 1.
Idle
, only for SM/BHS, indicates module is scanning, but has not detected a beacon from an AP/BHM. Once it
detects beacon, the SM/BHS begins a Channel Availability Check on that frequency.
Regulatory Note: A PMP 450 Series AP with a Country Code set to United States will not be configurable to
another Country Code by installers or end users. This is in response to FCC KDB 594280 and ensures that end
users and professional installers will not have access to settings which could allow a radio to be configured to
operate in a manner other than that which was specified in the FCC equipment authorization grant.
Within the United States and its territories the PMP 450 Country Code is pre-configured to United States and
not selectable in the Configuration, General web page. Radios sold in regions outside of the United States and
its territories are required to set the Country Code to the region in which it is used.
