The amber light on the bottom of the SU should be lit, either steadily, or blinking, to indicate that the AP
and SU have successfully associated. A steady light indicates strong signal strength. A blinking light
indicates less signal strength. If no amber light appears, then the AP and SU are not associated
Basic Diagnostics
In establishing the link between AP and SU(s), there are a few commands which are especially useful. All
of these commands are performed at the AP. A summary of these commands follows:
su
- Displays the status of all SU’s in the AP’s. SU’s in the SU database will appear
by SU ID, classified into one of the following status categories: Associated,
Associating, and OFF.
su live
- Displays a list of SU’s that are currently associating with the AP (by SU ID).
su ping <su#>
- AP will sends 10 RF pings to the designated SU ID. The response from each
ping will indicate the strength (RSSI) of the signal received back from the SU
for each of the 10 pings. Note this command will also tell you the distance
from the AP to the SU.
Example:
su status <su #>
AP will poll the SU for SU’s current status and will provide information such as
SU range from AP, signal strength received at SU from AP, SU temperature,
etc. .
