FEC
This field contains the SNMP value from the AP that indicates whether the Forward Error
Correction feature is enabled. PMP 400 Series OFDM APs do not have this field.
Type
Multipoint indicates an AP, not a BHM.
Age
This is a counter for the number of minutes that the AP has been inactive. At 15 minutes of
inactivity for the AP, this field is removed from the AP Eval tab in the SM.
Lockout
This field displays how many times the SM or BHS has been temporarily locked out of making
registration attempts.
RegFail
This field displays how many registration attempts by this SM or BHS failed.
Range
This field displays the distance in feet for this link. To derive the distance in meters, multiply the
value of this parameter by 0.3048.
MaxRange
This field displays the AP’s configured Max Range value.
TxBER
A 1 in this field indicates the AP or BHM is sending Radio BER.
EBcast
A 1 in this field indicates the AP or BHM is encrypting broadcast packets. A 0 indicates it is not.
Session Count
This field displays how many sessions the SM (or BHS) has had with the AP (or BHM).
Typically, this is the sum of Reg Count and Re-Reg Count. However, the result of internal
calculation may display here as a value that slightly differs from the sum.
In the case of a multipoint link, if the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number
for other SMs, then this may indicate a link problem or an interference problem.
