Channel Allocations
The spectrum database provides a list of available channels, based on the registration details.
The OMC displays the allocated channel is a list on this tab.
Figure 33: Channel Allocation
An active RuralConnect network requires an active channel allocation. You can find this
information in other areas of the OMC, as well.
On the right of each channel listed, you will see the expiration, or “Expiry Time”. This is a color-
coded indicator of the expiration of the channel allocation lease provided by the spectrum
database. If the Basestation fails to acquire a new lease before the Expiry Time shown, it will
cease transmission. The radio will not transmit until the OMC obtains a new channel allocation
lease.
Underneath the channel allocations, you will also see the current channel and details of the last
spectrum database activity results.
Interfaces
Each radi
o has multiple network connections created for controls to and from the OMC. This
value indicates the most recent date and time interface successfully established a connection to
the station. If an Internet connection fails, these interfaces will fail to communicate. During such
down time, the OMC cannot control the station, though local network functionality will continue
until the channel allocation lease expires.
