The General Status tab provides information on the operation of this SM. This is the tab that opens
by default when you access the GUI of the SM. The General Status tab provides the following
read-only fields.
Device Type
This field indicates the type of the module. Values include the frequency band of the SM, its
module type, and its MAC address.
Software Version
This field indicates the system release, the time and date of the release, and whether
communications involving the module are secured by DES or AES encryption (see Encrypting
Radio Transmissions on Page 428). If you request technical support, provide the information from
this field.
Board Type
This field indicates the series of hardware. See Designations for Hardware in Radios on Page 425.
FPGA Version
This field indicates the version of the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) on the module.
When you request technical support, provide the information from this field.
PLD Version
This field indicates the version of the programmable logic device (PLD) on the module. If you
request technical support, provide the value of this field.
Uptime
This field indicates how long the module has operated since power was applied.
System Time
This field provides the current time. Any SM that registers to an AP inherits the system time,
which is displayed in this field as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
Ethernet Interface
This field indicates the speed and duplex state of the Ethernet interface to the SM.
Antenna
The presence of this field depends on whether antenna options are available for the module. This
field indicates the polarity of the antenna in the modules as one of the following:
