pmp-0049 (September 2012)
Attribute
Meaning
Temperature
The current operating temperature of the board
Registered SM Count
This field indicates how many SMs are registered to the AP
GPS Sync Pulse Status
This field indicates the status of synchronization as follows:
Generating sync indicates that the module is set to generate the sync
pulse.
Receiving Sync indicates that the module is set to receive a sync pulse
from an outside source and is receiving the pulse.
ERROR: No Sync Pulse indicates that the module is set to receive a sync
pulse from an outside source and is not receiving the pulse.
When this message is displayed, the AP transmitter is turned off
to avoid self-interference within the system.
Max Registered SM Count
This field displays the largest number of SMs that have been
simultaneously registered in the AP since it was last rebooted. This
count can provide some insight into sector history and provide
comparison between current and maximum SM counts at a glance.
Data Slots Down
This field indicates the number of frame slots that are designated for
use by data in the downlink (sent from the AP to the SM). The AP
calculates the number of data slots based on the Max Range, Downlink
Data, and (reserved) Control Slots configured by the operator.
A + in this field (for example, 9+) indicates that there are additional
bit times that the scheduler can take advantage of for control slots
(which are half the size of data slots), but not enough for a full data
slot.
Data Slots Up
This field indicates the number of frame slots that are designated for
use by data traffic in the uplink (sent from the SM to the AP). The AP
calculates the number of data slots based on the Max Range, Downlink
Data, and (reserved) Control Slots configured by the operator.
A + in this field (for example, 9+) indicates that there are additional
bit times that the scheduler can take advantage of for control slots
(which are half the size of data slots), but not enough for a full data
slot.
Control Slots
This field indicates the number of (reserved) control slots configured by
the operator. Control slots are half the size of data slots. The SM uses
reserved control slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests.
