User's Manual

Site Location: enter information relating to the physical location of the module. This parameter
will set the supplied information into the sysLocation SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by a
SNMP management server. The buffer size for this field is 256 characters.
Save Changes: by clicking on this button, any changes that have been made on the
Configuration
page will be committed to flash memory and will take effect after the next module reboot.
Undo Save Changes: by clicking on this button, any changes that have been made and not
committed through a reboot of the module.
Set to Factory Defaults: depressing this button will change all of the configurable parameters
(all of which are contained on the Configuration page) back to their factory settings.
Reboot: depressing this button will reboot the module.
An example of the information shown on this web page for each access point module:

Descriptions of the parameters that can be useful for managing and troubleshooting a Cyclone
System are:
Index: each access point module that a subscriber module can see is assigned an index value
for purposes of this web page only. The index number starts with 0 and increases by 1. This
index is used to tell the operator which access point module the subscriber is currently registered
to. For example, the first line of text on the web page says “Current entry index: 5”, the operator
would then scroll down the list of access point modules to the module with “Index: 5” to view
information about the link.
Frequency: displays the transmit frequency of the access point module.
ESN: displays the electronic serial number (MAC address) of the access point module.
Jitter: displays the last jitter value captured between the subscriber and access point module.
Range: displays the distance (in feet) between the subscriber and access point module. This
parameter will only be valid when observing the data for the access point module that the
subscriber is currently registered to.
Session Count: displays the number of times the subscriber module has gone in and out of
session with the access point. If this number is particularly large, it typically signifies that there is
some sort of issue with the link (i.e. non line of sight, interferers, etc.)
Out of Range: displays a counter for the number of times the access point module has seen a
subscriber module who has attempted to register and has been farther away than the max range
parameter on the access point.
Sector ID: displays the sector ID of the access point module.
Color Code: displays the color code of the access point module.
Sector User Count: displays the numbers of registered subscriber modules on the access point.
Rescan APs: click on this button to force the subscriber module to redo the scanning process.
The subscriber module will scan, through the frequencies checked on the Configuration web
page, for all available access point modules and register to the one that provides the best results
for RSSI, Jitter, and number of registered users.
