QoS
Quality of Service. A frame field that Bandwidth and Authentication
Manager (BAM) provides to the AP and SM the sustained data rates
and burst data limits of the SM. The format of this field is 64
hexadecimal characters of 0 to 9 and a to f. The BAM SQL database
expresses this field as five contiguous subfields.

Quick Start
Interface page that requires minimal configuration for initial module
operation.
Radio Signal Strength
Indicator
Relative measure of the strength of a received signal. An acceptable
link displays an Radio Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value of
greater than 700.
Random Number
Number that the Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM)
generates, invisible to both the SM and the network operator, to send
to the SM as a challenge against an authentication attempt.

Recharging
Resumed accumulation of data in available data space (buckets). See
Buckets.

Reflection
Change of direction and reduction of amplitude of a signal that
encounters an object larger than the wavelength. Reflection may
cause an additional copy of the wavelength to arrive at after the
original, unobstructed wavelength arrives. This causes partial
cancellation of the signal and may render the link unacceptable.
However, in some instances where the direct signal cannot be
received, the reflected copy may be received and render an otherwise
unacceptable link acceptable.
Registrations MIB
Management Information Base file that defines registrations for global
items such as product identities and product components. See also
Management Information Base.
repl-m
A command that sets up the database replication process on a
Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) master server, uses
SFTP to copy both the database and the repl-s script to a BAM
slave server, and remotely executes the repl-s script on the BAM
slave server. See Master, Slave, repl-s, Secure Shell, and SFTP.
repl-s
A command that sets up the database replication process on a
Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) slave server. See
Master, Slave, and repl-m.
