Software Boot Version
This field indicates the CANOPYBOOT version number.
FPGA Version
This field displays the version of FPGA that runs on the SM. An unpopulated FPGA
Version parameter indicates that a version earlier than Version 082002 runs on the SM.
Session Timeout
This field indicates the maximum interval in hours that the SM may sustain a single
session with this AP.
AirDelay
This field displays the distance of the SM from the AP. To derive the distance in meters,
multiply the displayed number by 0.3048. To derive the distance in feet, multiply the
displayed number by 49. However, at close distances, the value in this field is unreliable.
For example, at a distance of 12 feet, the AirDelay field may display a value of 7
(343 feet).
Session Count
This field displays how many sessions the SM has had with the AP. If the number of
sessions is far greater than the number that other SMs registered to the AP have had,
then this SM may have an installation problem.
Reg Count
This field displays how many registration request messages the AP has received from the
SM. If the number of these messages is far greater than the number from other SMs
registered to the AP, then this SM may have an installation problem.
Re-Reg Count
This field displays how many registration request messages the AP has received from the
SM that is already in session. If the number of these messages is far greater than the
number from other SMs that are both registered to the AP and in session, then this SM
may have an installation problem.
RSSI (Avg/Last)
This field displays the average and the latest RSSI (received signal strength indicator)
value for the SM.
Jitter (Avg/Last)
This field displays the average and the latest jitter value for the SM.
Power Level (Avg/Last)
This field displays the average and the latest power level set for the SM.
To begin the test
1. Note the LUID associated with the MAC address of any SM you wish to involve in
the test.
2. On the left side of the Sessions page, click the LUID Select button.
RESULT: The AP responds by opening the LUID Select page.
