SDK
PrizmEMS™ Software Development Kit (SDK)—the document that
provides server administrator tasks, GUI developer information for
console automation that allows higher-level systems to launch and
appropriately display the Prizm management console. The SDK also
describes the how to define new element types and customize the
Details views.
Secure Shell
A trademark of SSH Communications Security.
Self-interference
Interference with a module from another module in the same network.
SES/2
Third-from-right LED in the module. In the Access Point Module and
Backhaul timing master, this LED is unused. In the operating mode for
a Subscriber Module or a Backhaul timing slave, this LED flashes on
and off to indicate that the module is not registered. In the aiming
mode for a Subscriber Module or a Backhaul timing slave, this LED is
part of a bar graph that indicates the quality of the RF link.
Session Key
Software key that the SM and Bandwidth and Authentication Manager
(BAM) separately calculate based on that both the authentication key
(or the factory-set default key) and the random number. BAM sends
the session key to the AP. Neither the subscriber nor the network
operator can view this key. See also Random Number.
SFTP
Secure File Transfer Protocol.
Simple Network
Management Protocol
Standard that is used for communications between a program (agent)
in the network and a network management station (monitor). Defined
in RFC 1157. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1157.html
.
skey
Software key that correlates to the random number that the Bandwidth
and Authentication Manager (BAM) server generates and sends in a
challenge through the AP to the SM. The network operator can create
and, at some security risk, send this key over the air to the SM. The
SQL database in the BAM server correlates this key to QoS
information about the SM. The format of this key is 32 hexadecimal
characters of 0 to 9 and a to f. This key must be unique to the
individual SM. Also known as authentication key.
Slave
Designation that defines the role of a component relative to the role of
another. This designation both applies to a Backhaul slave that
receives synchronization over the air from another Backhaul module
(a Backhaul timing master) and applies to a redundant Bandwidth and
Authentication Manager (BAM) server whose SQL database is
automatically overwritten by a copy from the primary BAM server
(BAM master). In each case, the slave is not a product. Rather, the
slave is the role that results from deliberate configuration steps.
SM
Customer premises equipment (CPE) device that extends network or
Internet services by communication with an Access Point Module or an
Access Point cluster.
