Attribute Meaning
Subscriber Color
Code Rescan
(When not on a
Primary Color
Code)
This timer may be utilized to initiate SM rescans in order to register
to an AP configured with the SM‘s primary color code.
The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan (if this AP is not
configured with the SM‘s primary color code). This timer will only
fire once – if the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle
timer is configured with a nonzero value and the Subscriber Color
Code Rescan expires, the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for
Idle is started. If the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle
timer is configured with a zero value and the Subscriber Color
Code Rescan timer expires, the SM will immediately go into rescan
mode
Subscriber Color
Code Wait
Period for Idle
The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan while idle (if this AP
is not configured with the SM’s primary color code). This timer will
fire periodic events. The fired event determines if any RF unicast
traffic (either inbound or outbound) has occurred since the last
event. If the results of the event determine that no RF unicast traffic
has occurred (SM is idle), then the subscriber will rescan.
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. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure
that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code
configuration (Color Code 1 is “0”, Color Code 2-10 set to “0” and
“Disable”). 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 a 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 Rescan APs
functionality on the AP Eval page).
