Number Of Scanning Attempts
When the Best AU option is enabled, the SU gathers information on
neighboring AUs for approximately 2 seconds on each of the scanned
frequencies. The Number of Scanning Attempts parameter defines the
number of times that the process will be repeated for all relevant
frequencies. A higher number may result in a better decision at the
cost of an increased scanning time during which the SU is not
operational.
Valid values: 1 - 255.
Default value: 4.
Preferred AU MAC Address
The Preferred AU MAC Address parameter defines a specific AU with
which the SU should associate. Gaining control of the SUs association
is a powerful tool in network management. The Preferred AU MAC
Address parameter is intended for applications where there is a need to
dictate the preferred AU with whom the SU should associate. To prevent
the SU from associating with the first viable AU it finds, the Best AU
Support mechanism should be enabled. Once the SU has identified the
preferred AU based on its MAC address, it will associate with it and
terminate the scanning process. If the preferred AU is not found, the SU
will associate with an AU according to the decision reached using the
best AU algorithm.
Valid values: A MAC address string.
The default value for the Preferred AU MAC Address is 00-00-00-00-00-
00 (12 zeros), meaning that there is no preferred AU.
Show Best AU Parameters and Data
The Show Best AU Parameters and Data option displays the applicable
information:
The Neighboring AU Data table displays for each AU that the unit can
communicate with the following details:
! MAC Address
! SNR of the received signal
! Mark - The computed quality mark for the AU.
