SM is registered (or to the BHM to which this BHS is registered).
Frequency
This field displays the frequency that the AP or BHM transmits.
ESN
This field displays the MAC address (electronic serial number) of the AP or BHM. For operator
convenience during SM or BHS aiming, this tab retains each detected ESN for up to 15 minutes. If

aiming operation, then a multiple instance of the same ESN is possible in the list. Eventually, the
earlier instance expires and disappears, and the later instance remains to the end of its interval, but
you can ignore the early instance(s) whenever two or more are present.
Region
