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.
