3. Set the Frame Timing Pulse Gated parameter on the Configuration page of the collocated
SM or BH timing slave to Enable.
NOTE: This setting prevents interference in the event that the SM or BH timing slave loses
sync.
7.3 CONFIGURING THE AP
To put configuration changes into effect in any case, the operator must:
1. Make the change(s) on the web page of the module.
2. Click the Save button to temporarily save the change(s).
3. Click the Reboot button to reboot the module and implement the change(s).
Either of two methods is used to configure each AP:
• to use the Quick Start feature of the product. For more information on Quick Start,
see Quick Start Page on Page 74
• to manually set each parameter
7.3.1 Configuration from the Factory
From the factory, the AP is configured to not transmit on any frequency. This configuration ensures
that an operator does not accidentally turn on an unsynchronized AP.
Site synchronization of APs is required because
• Canopy modules:
− transmit or receive, but not at the same time.
− use TDD (Time Division Duplexing) to distribute signal access of the downlink and
uplink frames.
• when one AP transmits while another receives signal, the transmitting module may
interfere with or desense the receiving module. In this context, interference is self-
interference (within the same Canopy network).
See Synchronization on Page 16.
7.3.2 GUI Access Difficulty

interface). This can occur when the computer has used a proxy server address and port to
configure a Canopy module. In this case, perform the following procedure to toggle the computer to
not use the proxy setting.
