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.

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

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.

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.

Clicking on the Expanded Stats link will display a number of pages of statistics that are maintained

Expanded Stats that an

• Link Test
• Alignment
• BER Display
