Sessions

The Session web page contains information on each of the subscriber modules that has registered to the access point module. For each of the subscriber modules certain bits of information are shown on this web page. An example of such information is:

LUID: 002 : MAC: 0a-00-3e-00-02-2f State: IN SESSION

Software Version : CANOPY 3.1 Aug 21 2002 13:52:12

FPGA Version : 08200207

Session Timeout: 7, AirDelay 5

Session Count: 2, Reg Count 2, Re-Reg Count 2

Average RSSI: 1842, Last RSSI: 1873

Average Jitter: 6, Last Jitter: 5

Descriptions of the parameters that are useful for managing and troubleshooting a Canopy System are:

LUID: displays the logical unit ID of the subscriber module. As each subscriber module registers to the access point module it is assigned a LUID. The LUID range starts at 2. If a subscriber module were to lose its registration with the access point and then regain the registration it will retain the same LUID, as long power has not cycled on the access point module.

MAC: displays the MAC address (or electronic serial number) of the subscriber module.

State: displays the current status of the subscriber module. There are two states:

•IN SESSION: the subscriber module is currently registered to the access point module.

•IDLE: the subscriber module was registered to the access point module at one time, but is not currently.

Software Version: displays the version of software that is running on the subscriber module. If this parameter is not present, then a software version prior to release version 3.1 is on that module.

FPGA Version: displays the version of FPGA that is running on the subscriber module. If this parameter is not present, then a FPGA version prior to release version 082002 is on the module.

AirDelay: displays the distance of the subscriber module from the access point module. The number presented needs to be multiplied by 49 to convert the number to feet.

Session Count: displays the number of sessions that this subscriber module has had with the access point module. If this value is excessive large compared to other subscriber modules registered with this access point, there may be an issue with the installation of the subscriber.

Reg Count: displays the number of registration request messages the access point module has seen from the subscriber module. If this value is excessive large compared to other subscriber modules registered with this access point, there may be an issue with the installation of the subscriber.

Re-Reg Count: displays the number of registration request messages the access point module has seen from the subscriber module that is already in session. If this value is excessive large compared to other subscriber modules registered with this access point, there may be an issue with the installation of the subscriber.

Average RSSI: displays the average RSSI value for the subscriber module.

Last RSSI: displays the last RSSI value for the subscriber module.
