State
This field displays the current status of the SM or BHS as either
◦ IN SESSION to indicate that the SM or BHS is currently registered.
◦ IDLE to indicate that the SM or BHS was registered, but now is not.
Software Version
This field displays the software release that operates on the SM or BHS, 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 requesting technical
support, provide the information from this field.
An unpopulated Software Version parameter indicates a version earlier than
Version 3.1.
Software Boot Version
This field indicates the CANOPYBOOT version number.
FPGA Version
This field displays the version of FPGA that runs on the SM or BHS. An unpopulated
FPGA Version parameter indicates that a version earlier than Version 082002 runs on the
SM or BHS.
Session Timeout
This field indicates the maximum interval in hours that the SM or BHS may sustain a
single session.
AirDelay
This field displays the distance of the link. 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.
Session Count
This field displays how many sessions the SM or BHS has had. If the number of sessions
is far greater than the number that other registered modules have had, then this SM or
BHS may have an installation problem.
Reg Count
This field displays how many registration request messages the AP or BHM has received
from the module. If the number of these messages is far greater than the number from
other registered modules, then this SM or BHS may have an installation problem.
Re-Reg Count
This field displays how many registration request messages the AP or BHM has received
from the module that is already in session. If the number of these messages is far
greater than the number from other modules that are both registered and in session, then
this SM or BHS 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 or BHS.
