26.2.1 AP Eval Data Parameters
The AP Eval Data page provides the following parameters that can be useful to manage
and troubleshoot a Canopy system:
Index
This field displays the index value that the Canopy system assigns (for only this page) to
the AP where this 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.
Jitter
This field displays the last jitter value that was captured between this SM and the AP (or
between this BHS and the BHM).
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.
Session Count
This field displays how many times this SM (or BHS) has gone into and out of session
with the AP (or BHM). If this number is particularly large, a problem may exist in the link
(for example, improper line of sight or interference).
Sector ID
This field displays the value of the Sector ID field that is provisioned for the AP or BHM.
Color Code
This field displays the value of the Color Code field that is provisioned for the AP or
BHM.
Sector User Count
This field displays how many SMs are registered on the AP.
Rescan APs
You can click this button to force the SM or BHS to rescan for the frequencies that are
selected in the Configuration page. (See Custom RF Frequency Scan Selection List on
Page 208.) This module will then register to the AP or BHM that provides the best results
for RSSI, Jitter, and number of registered modules.
