When it is unable to send beacon frames for a predetermined period of time, such as in the case of interferences, the AU/BU resets itself. The Lost Beacon Watchdog Threshold parameter defines the number of consecutive lost beacons after which the unit will reset itself. The configurable range for this parameter is 100 - 1000.
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell Air Interface General Page microseconds per km/5 microseconds per mile.). The higher the distance from the AU of the SU served by it, the higher the ACK timeout should be. The ACK timeout in microseconds is: 20+Distance (km)*2*3.3 or 20+Distance (miles)*2*5. 2 To ensure fairness in the contention back-off algorithm between SUs located at different distances from the AU, the size of the time slot should also take into account the one-way propagation delay.
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell Fairness Factor (%) Air Interface General Page Applicable only for AU. The Fairness Factor enables to define the level of fairness in providing services to different SUs. When set to 100%, all SUs have the same probability of getting services when competing for bandwidth. If set to X%, then SUs located up to X% of the maximum distance from the AU will have an advantage in getting services over SUs located farther than this distance.
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell Air Interface General Page used for manually configuring the Max Link distance. In automatic mode, the BU uses a special algorithm to estimate its distance from the RB. The Link Distance parameters includes the following: Link Distance Option Applicable only for BU. The Link Distance Option defines whether the distance between the BU and the RB will be determined manually (using the Max Link Distance parameter) or automatically.
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell Air Interface General Page When the SU/RB has become associated with a specific AU/BU, its ESSID can be reconfigured to the value of the ESSID of the AU/BU. To support increased security the ESSID may be hidden. When this feature is activated in AU/BU it will not broadcast the ESSID in Beacon frames (null characters will be transmitted instead of the ESSID).
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell Air Interface General Page meaning that SU/RB is not associated, and the reason of rejection - wrong ESSID. An SU/RB that is trying to associate with AUs/BUs that are working with Hidden ESSID will keep a list with AUs/BUs that rejected. The AU/BU will be kept in this list until the Hidden ESSID Time-out expires for it or if the list is full and another AU/BU that is not in the list rejects the SU/RB because of wrong ESSID.
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell 2.3.5 Air Interface General Page Noise Immunity Parameters Noise Immunity parameters are available only for units with HW Revision C and higher, except to Pulse Detection Sensitivity that is available also for units with HW Revision B. The Adaptive Noise Immunity (ANI) mechanism is designed to reduce the wireless physical layer errors and by that enhance the processing power of the AU/BU, delivering higher packet processing efficiency.
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell Air Interface General Page SUs/RB is below 20 seconds (The age of all SUs/RB can be viewed in the Display Association Info option of the AU/BU MAC Address Database using Telnet). Do not activate the OFDM Weak Signal parameter if the SNR is below 36 dB. Under normal conditions, the OFDM Weak Signal should never be activated in the AU/BU, since the SNR of all SUs/RB served by it will be below 36 dB when ATPC is enabled.
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell 2.3.6 Air Interface General Page Noise Floor Parameters The Noise Floor calculation mechanism incorporated in the units is used for estimating the level of the noise floor. This value is used for estimating SNR values and for decisions on existence of signals in the channel.
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell Noise Floor Calculation Mode Air Interface General Page The Calculation Mode defines the method used for calculation the Noise Floor value to be used by the device for estimating the quality of received signals. The available options are: Fully Automatic: According to the built-in noise floor calculation mechanism. Forced: The Noise Floor value is set manually to the value configured for the Forced Value parameter (see below).
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell 2.4 Air Interface Frequency Page Air Interface Frequency Page To simplify installation and changes, most of the parameters that determine the frequency to be used are set in the AU/BU. The SU/RB should be configured with a minimal set of parameters to ensure that it will be able to automatically detect and use the frequency/bandwidth used by the AU/BU, including possible changes in this frequency (Automatic Sub Band Select feature).
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell Air Interface Frequency Page according to the bandwidth. For instance, if the bandwidth is 20 MHz, then if radar activity was detected in 5800 MHz, frequencies 5790 MHz and 5810 MHz should not be used as well. These frequencies are marked in the database as Adjacent to Radar, and will be treated the same as Radar Detected frequencies.

The graph for each accumulating counter displays the counter rate, defined as: (Current Value-Previous Value)/Polling Interval (seconds). The Performance pages include two sections: the counters selection section and the graph and control buttons section.
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell Performance Page You can perform the following operations in the Counters Selection section: To expand/collapse the list of counters: 1 Use the Expand/Collapse (+/-) check-box on the left side of the device’s name to view/hide all counters groups available for the device. 2 Use the Expand/Collapse (+/-) check-box on the left side of the counters group name, to view/hide all counters available in the group.
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell Performance Page To optimize the value (vertical) axis of a counter: The values scale (vertical axis) is fixed, between -100 to +100 (or between 0 to 100 for a Positive Only graph). Some counters may have values that either exceed this range or are too small. The value scale of each counter is displayed to the right of the counter’s name (the default is 1.0).
Chapter 2 - Managing a Single Device/Cell Performance Page You can use the Pan/Zoom toggle button to either shift the time axis or change its resolution: To shift the time axis: 1 Make sure that Pan mode is selected.
