an access point module.

•

 

Syncing

 – module is attempting to synchronize timing to a single access point module

•

 

Registering

 – module sent a request for registration and is awaiting a response

•

 

Registered

 – module is locked on to a specific access point module and ready to transmit and

receive data packets

•

 

Alignment

 – module is in alignment mode

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 Canopy module to auto-
refresh (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 Canopy module to auto-
refresh (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 Canopy technical support.

Radio Transmit Gain Setting:

  displays information to be used by Canopy 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 MIB-

II object and can be polled via a SNMP management server.
