Attribute Meaning
Color Code 1 to 10 Color code allows you to force the SM to register to only a specific AP, even
where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. For registration to occur,
the color code of the SM and the AP
must match. Specify a value from 0 to
254.
Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management
feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. The default
setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code
of 0 (
not all 255 color codes).
SMs may be configured with up to 10 color codes. These color codes can be
tagged as
Primary , Secondary , or Tertiary , or Disable . When the SM is
scanning for APs, it will first attempt to register to an AP that matches one of
the SM‘s primary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and
attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SM‘s secondary color
codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to
an AP that matches one of the SM‘s tertiary color codes. This is all done in
the scanning mode of the SM and will repeat until a registration has occurred.
Color codes in the same priority group are treated equally. For example, all
APs matching one of the SM‘s primary color codes are analyzed equally.
Likewise, this evaluation is done for the secondary and tertiary groups in
order. The analysis for selecting an AP within a priority group is based on
various inputs, including signal strength and number of SMs already registered
to each AP.
The first color code in the configuration is the pre-Release 9.5 color code.
Thus, it is always a primary color code for legacy reasons.
The color codes can be disabled, with the exception of the first color code.
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).
