end of procedure
The Sessions web page provides information about each SM that has registered to the
AP. This information is useful for managing and troubleshooting a Canopy system. In
Release 4.2 and later releases, all information that you have entered in the Site Name
field of the SM displays in the Sessions page of the linked AP.
The Sessions page provides the following parameters.
LUID
This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID) of the SM. As each SM registers to the AP,
the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher number to the SM. If an SM loses
registration with the AP and then regains registration, the SM will retain the same LUID.

NOTE:
The LUID association is lost when a power cycle of the AP occurs.
MAC
This field displays the MAC address (or electronic serial number) of the SM.
State
This field displays the current status of the SM as either
◦ IN SESSION to indicate that the SM is currently registered to the AP.
◦ IDLE to indicate that the SM was registered to the AP at one time, but now is not.
Software Version
This field displays the software release that operates on the SM, the release date of the
software, the time, and whether the module is secured by DES or AES encryption (see
Encrypting Canopy Radio Transmissions on Page 296). When you request technical
support, provide the information from this field.
An unpopulated Software Version parameter indicates a version earlier than
Version 3.1.
