Table 22 Link Status
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Profile | This field displays the profile name. |
|
|
BSID | This field displays the MAC address of the base station to which the WiMAX |
| Device is currently connected. |
|
|
RSSI | This field displays the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), which is an |
| overall measurement of radio signal strength. A higher RSSI level indicates a |
| stronger signal. |
|
|
CINR R3 | This field displays the average Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio (R3) for |
| the current connection. This value is an indication of overall radio signal quality, |
| where a higher value means a better quality signal. |
|
|
CINR R1 | This field displays the average Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio (R1) for |
| the current connection. This value is an indication of overall radio signal quality, |
| where a higher value means a better quality signal. |
|
|
CINR Std Dev | This field displays the average Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio (Std Dev) |
| for the current connection. This value is an indication of overall radio signal |
| quality, where a higher value means a better quality signal. |
|
|
Frequency | This field displays the frequency in kilohertz (KHz). |
|
|
TX Power | This field displays the transmission power of the WiMAX Device in dBm. |
|
|
UL MCS | This field displays the Uplink Modulation and Coding Sequence (UL MCS). |
|
|
DL MCS | This field displays the Downlink Modulation and Coding Sequence (DL MCS). |
|
|
RF Temperature | This field displays the temperature in centigrade of the WiMAX Device’s RF |
| circuit. |
|
|
Link Uptime | This field displays the length of time the current connection has been up. |
|
|
Handover Success | This field displays how many times the WiMAX Device had ever successfully |
| switched its connection from one base station to another base station, since the |
| WiMAX Device last restarted. |
