Using the AP Evaluation Tool (SM)
pmp-0049 (September 2012)
5-13
Attribute
Meaning
EBcast
A 1 in this field indicates the AP or BHM is encrypting broadcast
packets. A 0 indicates it is not.
Session Count
This field displays how many sessions the SM (or BHS) has had with
the AP (or BHM). Typically, this is the sum of Reg Count and Re-Reg
Count. However, the result of internal calculation may display here as a
value that slightly differs from the sum.
In the case of a multipoint link, if the number of sessions is significantly
greater than the number for other SMs, then this may indicate a link
problem or an interference problem.
NoLUIDs
This field indicates how many times the AP has needed to reject a
registration request from an SM because its capacity to make LUID
assignments is full. This then locks the SM out of making any valid
attempt for the next 15 minutes. It is extremely unlikely that a non-
zero number would be displayed here.
OutOfRange
This field indicates how many times the AP has rejected a registration
request from an SM because the SM is a further distance away than the
range that is currently configured in the AP. This then locks the SM out
of making any valid attempt for the next 15 minutes.
AuthFail
This field displays how many times authentication attempts from this
SM have failed in the AP.
EncryptFail
This field displays how many times an encryption mismatch has
occurred between the SM and the AP.
Rescan Req
This field displays how many times a re-range request has occurred for
the BHM that is being evaluated in the AP Eval page of a BHS.
SMLimitReached
This field displays 0 if additional SMs may be registered to the AP. If a
1 is displayed, the AP will not accept additional SM registrations.
NoVC‘s
This counter is incremented when the SM is registering to an AP which
determines that no VC resources are available for allocation. This could
be a primary data VC or a high priority data VC.
VCRsvFail
This counter is incremented when the SM is registering to an AP which
has a VC resource available for allocation but cannot reserve the
resource for allocation.
VCActFail
This counter is incremented when the SM is registering to an AP which
has a VC resource available for allocation and has reserved the VC, but
cannot activate the resource for allocation.
