For more information on the parameters required for the FTP transaction, see FTP parameters and
troubleshooting tips on page 1-10. The remainder of this section describes the required threshold file
format.
A threshold file uses a simple CSV format with lines in the following format:
thld_name,from_value,to_value,enabled
For example:
Pass Signal Strength 'bgn' (dBm),-76,--,Yes
It must have the following filename:
WiFiThresholds.dat
Note the following:
• The best way to prepare a threshold file is to start with a working sample. Contact Spirent to obtain a
sample.
• You should never change a threshold name (first field), otherwise the threshold will become
unrecognizable and the unit will use a default instead.
• If any value exceeds a theoretical limitation, the unit will reset it to a valid value. For example, if a
percentage value exceeds 100, it will be reset to 100 upon import. For fields that inherently require a
theoretical maximum, you can specify two hyphens (--) instead of an explicit value.
• You can precede any line with an exclamation point (!) to restrict the setting from editing onboard the
unit, for example:
!Pass Signal Strength 'bgn' (dBm),-76,--,Yes
In this case, the threshold range will be viewable on the unit, but will not be editable. Note that this
condition cannot be undone except by importing another thresholds file to the unit.
NOTE: Verizon units automatically add this character upon file download if not originally specified.
Therefore, thresholds are never editable on the unit itself.
