appropriate license keys from the country of operation should be obtained from your distributor. Applying
license keys containing the same region codes to both ends of the link will remove the alarm.
Spectrum Management Channel Warning The alarms warns a user when the intelligent spectrum management
feature can't find a suitable wireless channel. This alarm occurs when the signal assessment features of the 45
Mbps Backhaul can’t find a channel to operate on.
6.2 Systems Status Page
The status page has been designed to give the system administrator a detailed view of the operation of the 45
Mbps Backhaul system from both the wireless and network perspectives.
The page is subdivided into three main categories Equipment, Wireless and Ethernet/Internet. The ‘Equipment’
section contains all the unit’s inventory and identification information. The ‘Wireless’ section presents all the
key wireless metrics displayed as a series of measurements and histograms. The ‘Ethernet/Internet’ section
describes the unit’s network identity and connectivity.
The status page can be configured to refresh itself at an operator defined rate (if the user is logged in a system
administrator). The refresh period the page field defaults to is 3600 seconds and can easily be changed to refresh
at any period between 2 seconds and 3600 seconds. Pressing the ‘Update Page Refresh Period’ button causes a
new page refresh period to be adopted by the system. The page refresh mechanism uses a HTML Meta refresh
command. Therefore the refresh is always initiated by the local browser and not by the 45 Mbps Backhaul
system at this interval.
The two 45 Mbps Backhaul units are arranged in a master and slave relationship. The units’ role in this
relationship is displayed in the page title. The master unit will always have the title ‘- Master’, and the slave will
always have the ‘- Slave’ appended to the ‘Systems Status’ page title.
