Attribute Meaning
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. 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. 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).
SM Receive Target Level Each SM’s Transmitter Output Power is automatically set by the AP. The AP
monitors the received power from each SM, and adjusts each SM’s Transmitter
Output Power so that the received power at the AP from that SM is not
greater what is set in this field. This value represents a “single-port” power
perceived on the SM.
