Color Codes 2 through 10 are placed in the SM MIB. The current first color code exists in
the box MIB as it is used for both the AP and SM. The SM MIB updates are as follows:
In addition, two timers can be configured on the AP by the operator. The timers’ configurations
are sent down to the SM during registration negotiations. These timers are only used when the
SM is registered to an AP with a non-Primary Color Code.
The timers allow an SM to “time-out”, rescan, and attempt to register to an AP with a Primary
Color Code. These timers only fire if the SM is still in session when they expire.
The first timer (Subscriber Color Code Rescan) will only fire once. This timer event can do two
actions depending on the setting of the second timer. If the second timer’s (Subscriber Color
Code Wait Period for Idle) configuration was enabled, then this event will start the idle timer. If the
idle timer was disabled (set to zero), then the subscriber will immediately go into rescan mode.
The “Wait for Idle” timer will fire periodic events. The fired event determines if any RF unicast
traffic (either inbound or outbound) has occurred since the last event. If the results of the event
determined that no RF unicast traffic has occurred (idle), then the subscriber will rescan.
A value of zero (0) means that these timers are disabled.
