User's Manual

RSSI: displays the current value for the Radio Signal Strength Indicator. This parameter will only
display information when the module is registered to an access point module and the value is
only updated by either refreshing the web browser screen or configuring the Cyclone module to
autorefresh (see Configuration web page.) An acceptable RSSI value for a registered link is
greater than 700; however it is important to view this value in conjunction with the Jitter value.
Jitter: displays the current value for the quality of the received signal. This parameter will only
display information when the module is registered to an access point module and the value is
only updated by either refreshing the web browser screen or configuring the Cyclone module to
autorefresh (see Configuration web page.) The value range for Jitter is 5-15, with the quality
being better on the low end of the scale. Jitter must be below 9 for a link to be of acceptable
quality.
Air Delay: display the distance from the subscriber module to the registered access point
module. At close range, 0-200 feet, the distance will not report accurately.
Radio Slicing Value: displays information to be used be Cyclone technical support.
Radio Transmit Gain Setting: displays information to be used by Cyclone technical support.
Site Name: displays information relating to the name of the physical module. This parameter can
be set by the operator on the Configuration web page. This information is set into the sysName
SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled via a SNMP management server.
Site Contact: displays contact information for the physical module. This parameter can be set by
the operator on the Configuration web page. This information is set into the sysContact SNMP
MIBII object and can be polled via a SNMP management server.
CONFIGURATION PAGE
The Configuration web page contains information and configurable parameters pertaining to the
operation of the product. The first line of information on the Configuration screen is a repeat of the
Device Type from the Status web page. The following are the parameters and their descriptions.
Timing Mode: choose whether this module will be a timing master or a timing slave. If the
operator is changing this mode, change only this parameter, save the changes and reboot. Upon
reboot different set of web based interface pages will present themselves and offer the operator
different manageable as well as configurable features.
Link Negotiation Speeds: choose the type of link speed desired for the Ethernet connection.
The default for this parameter is for all the choices to be checked.
Custom RF Frequency Scan Selection (SM) List: choose the frequencies that the subscriber
module will scan when looking for access point modules. The default for this parameter is to scan
all available frequencies.
LAN1 IP: enter in the IP address that will be associated with the Ethernet connection on this
module. The default address is 169.254.1.1.
The radio buttons to the right of the IP address field offer the ability to make the LAN 1 IP either a
local or publicly accessible address. If the address is designated a local address it will only be
accessible via the host computer (network) that is connected to the module via the Ethernet
cable. If the address is designated a public address it will be accessible network-wide. The
default for this feature is for the address to be local. If the IP address is forgotten, the operator will
need physical access to the module and will need to create a Cyclone “default plug”. See steps to
create and use a default plug in the section on the Timing Master.
