Temperature
This field displays the current operating temperature of the device (range −40°C to +55°C (−40°F to
131°F)).
Session Status
This field displays the following information about the current session:
• Scanning indicates that this SM currently cycles through the radio frequencies that are
selected in the Radio tab of the Configuration page.
• Syncing indicates that this SM currently attempts to receive sync.
• Registering indicates that this SM has sent a registration request message to the AP and has
not yet received a response.
• Registered indicates that this SM is both
o registered to an AP.
o ready to transmit and receive data packets.
• Alignment indicates that this SM is in an aiming mode. See Table 47 on Page 186.
Session Uptime
This field displays the duration of the current link. The syntax of the displayed time is hh:mm:ss.
Registered AP
This field displays the MAC address of the AP to which this SM is registered.
Power Level and Jitter
The General Status tab shows the received Power Level in dBm and Jitter. Proper alignment
maximizes Power Level and minimizes Jitter. As you refine alignment, you should favor lower
jitter over higher dBm. For example, if coarse alignment gives an SM a power level of −75 dBm
and a jitter measurement of 5, and further refining the alignment drops the power level to
−78 dBm and the jitter to 2 or 3, use the refined alignment, with the following caveats:
• When the receiving link is operating at 1X, the Jitter scale is 0 to 15 with desired jitter
between 0 and 4.
• When the receiving link is operating at 2X, the Jitter scale is 0 to 15 with desired jitter
between 0 and 9.
