Burst
Preset amount limit of data that may be continuously transferred.
C/IRatio
Ratio of intended signal (carrier) to unintended signal (interference).
Cyclone
A trademark of Last Mile Gear, Inc.
Cyclone.xml
File that stores specifications for the Bandwidth and Authentication
Manager (BAM) GUI.
Carrier‐to‐interference
Ratio
Ratio of intended reception to unintended reception.
CarSenseLostField
This field displays how many carrier sense lost errors occurred on the
Ethernet controller.
CAT5Cable
Cable that delivers Ethernet communications from module to module.
Later modules auto-sense whether this cable is wired in a straight-
through or crossover scheme.
cdf
Cyclone Data Formatter tool that creates an initial ESN Data Table.
Inputs for this tool include a list of SM ESNs and default values of
sustained data rates and burst allocations for each listed ESN.
chkconfig
A command that the Linux
®
operating system accepts to enable
MySQL
®
and Apache™ Server software for various run levels of the
mysqld and httpd utilities.
CIR
See Committed Information Rate.
ClusterManagement
Module
Module that provides power, GPS timing, and networking connections
for an AP cluster. Also known as CMM. If this CMM is connected to a
Backhaul Module, then this CMM is the central point of connectivity for
the entire site.
CMM
Cluster Management Module. A module that provides power, GPS
timing, and networking connections for an Access Point cluster. If this
CMM is connected to a Backhaul Module (BH), then this CMM is the
central point of connectivity for the entire site.
CodePoint
See DiffServ.
ColorCodeField
Module parameter that identifies the other modules with which
communication is allowed. The range of values is 0 to 255. When set
at 0, the Color Code does not restrict communications with any other
module.
CommittedInformation
Rate
For an SM or specified group of SMs, a level of bandwidth that can be
guaranteed to never fall below a specified minimum. In the Cyclone
implementation, this is controlled by the Low Priority Uplink CIR,
Low Priority Downlink CIR, High Priority Uplink CIR, and High Priority
Downlink CIR parameters.
