Attribute
Meaning
Color Code 1 to 20 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 20 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. 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.
