In establishing and diagnosing the quality of the link between AP and SU(s), there are a few commands which are especially useful.
All of these commands are performed at the AP. A summary of these commands follows:
su
Displays the status of all SUs in the AP’s database. SUs in the SU database will appear by SU ID, classified into one of the following
status categories: Associated, Associating, and OFF.
su live
Displays a list of SU’s that are currently associating with the AP (by SU ID).
Example:
#> su live
----------- Live -----------
88
--> 1 SU
Success.
? Note: In this, and the following, examples the SU ID is 88
su ping <su#>
AP will send 10 RF pings to the designated SU ID. The response from each ping will indicate latency (in micro-seconds) and the
strength (RSSI) of the signal received back from the SU for each of the 10 pings. Note this command will also tell you the distance
from the AP to the SU.
Example:
#> su ping 88
[#Begin]
[0088]
Ping #0 -> 292 us [-43 dB]
Ping #1 -> 288 us [-43 dB]
Ping #2 -> 286 us [-43 dB]
Ping #3 -> 287 us [-43 dB]
Ping #4 -> 287 us [-43 dB]
Ping #5 -> 287 us [-43 dB]
Ping #6 -> 287 us [-43 dB]
Ping #7 -> 287 us [-43 dB]
Ping #8 -> 290 us [-43 dB]
Ping #9 -> 288 us [-43 dB]
suid 88: range[avg/min/max 288/286/292 us] max rssi[-43 dBm] distance[0.1 mi]
[#End]
Success.
su status <su #>
AP will poll the SU for SU’s current status and will provide information such as SU range from AP, signal strength received at SU from
AP, SU temperature, etc. .
Example:
#> su status 88
[#Begin]
[suid] 88
[tm] 10566282
[rf rx] 40 Kbits/s
[rf tx] 0 Kbits/s
[eth rx] 0 Kbits/s
[eth tx] 40 Kbits/s
[rssi] -46
[tx power] -8
[temp] 42
[#End]
Success.
