Subscriber Color Code Rescan (When not on a Primary Color
Code)
This timer may be utilized to initiate SM rescans in order to register to an AP configured with the
SM’s primary color code.
The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan (if this AP is not configured with the SM’s
primary color code). This timer will only fire once – if the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period
for Idle timer is configured with a nonzero value and the Subscriber Color Code Rescan
expires, the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle will be started. If the Subscriber
Color Code Wait Period for Idle timer is configured with a zero value and the Subscriber Color
Code Rescan timer expires, the SM will immediately go into rescan mode.
Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle
The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan while idle (if this AP is not configured with the
SM’s primary color code). This 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 determine that no RF unicast traffic has occurred (SM is idle), then the subscriber will
rescan.
Installation Color Code
With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs
without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. While the SM is
accessible for configuration from above the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for
local site provisioning), no user data is passed over the radio link. When using the Installation
Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code
configuration (Color Code 1 is “0”, Color Code 2-10 set to “0” and “Disable”). The status of the
Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is
registered using the Installation Color Code the message “SM is registered via ICC – Bridging
Disabled!” is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is
configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. If an SM is registered via
Installation Color Code and the feature is then disabled, operators will need to reboot the SM or
force it to reregister (i.e. using the Rescan APs functionality on the AP Eval page).
Power Save Mode
P10 Board Types Only - Select either
• Enabled (the default), to reduce module power consumption by approximately 10% without
affecting the transmitter output power. This is the recommended setting.
• Disabled, to continue normal power consumption, but do so only under guidance from
technical support.
