Software Release 4.1
8.9.1 Sessions Parameters
The Sessions page provides the following parameters:
LUID
This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID) of the SM. As each SM registers to the AP, the system
assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher number to the SM. If an SM loses registration with the AP and
then regains registration, the will retain the same LUID.
NOTE: The LUID association is lost when a power cycle of the AP occurs.
MAC
This field displays the MAC address (or electronic serial number) of the SM.
State
This field displays the current status of the SM as either
• IN SESSION to indicate that the SM is currently registered to the AP.
• IDLE to indicate that the SM was registered to the AP at one time, but now is not.
Software Version
This field displays the software release that operates on the SM, the release date of the software,
the time, and whether the module is secured by DES or AES encryption (see Security Features on
Page 19). 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. An unpopulated FPGA Version
parameter indicates that a version earlier than Version 082002 runs on the SM.
Session Timeout
This field indicates the maximum interval in hours that the SM may sustain a single session with
this AP.
AirDelay
This field displays the distance of the SM from the AP. To derive the distance in meters, the
operator multiplies the displayed number by 0.3048. To derive the distance in feet, the operator
multiplies the displayed number by 49.
Session Count
This field displays how many sessions the SM has had with the AP. If the number of sessions is far
greater than the number that other SMs registered to the AP have had, then this SM may have an
installation problem.
Reg Count
This field displays how many registration request messages the AP has received from the SM. If
the number of these messages is far greater than the number from other SMs registered to the AP,
then this SM may have an installation problem.
