Issue 2, December 2006 Draf t 2 for Regulatory Review 207
Figure 69: Time tab of BHM, example
To have each log in the BHM correlated to a meaningful time and date, either a reliable
network element must pass time and date to the BHM or you must set the time and date
whenever a power cycle of the BHM has occurred. A network element passes time and
date in any of the following scenarios:
◦ A connected CMM2 passes time and date (GPS time and date, if received).
◦ A connected CMMmicro passes the time and date (GPS time and date, if
received), but only if the CMMmicro is operating on CMMmicro Release 2.1 or
later release. (These releases include an NTP server functionality.)
◦ A separate NTP server is addressable from the BHM.
If the BHM should derive time and date from either a CMMmicro or a separate NTP
server, enter the IP address of the CMMmicro or NTP server on this tab. To force the
BHM to derive time and date before the first (or next) 15-minute interval query of the NTP
server, click Get Time through NTP.

Issue 2, December 2006 Draf t 2 for Regulatory Review 211
Software BOOT Version
This field indicates the version of the CANOPYBOOT file. If you request technical
support, provide the information from this field.
Board Type
This field indicates the series of hardware. See Designations for Hardware in Radios on
Page 367.
FPGA Version
This field indicates the version of the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) on the
module. When you request technical support, provide the information from this field.
Uptime
This field indicates how long the module has operated since power was applied.
System Time
This field provides the current time. When a BHS registers to a BHM, it inherits the
system time, which is displayed in this field as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
Ethernet Interface
This field indicates the speed and duplex state of the Ethernet interface to the BHS.
Session Status
This field displays the following information about the current session:
◦ Scanning indicates that this SM currently cycles through the RF frequencies that
are selected in the Radio tab of the Configuration page.
◦ Syncing indicates that this SM currently attempts to receive sync.
◦ Registering indicates that this SM has sent a registration request message to
the AP and has not yet received a response.
◦ Registered indicates that this SM is both
− registered to an AP.
− ready to transmit and receive data packets.
◦ Alignment indicates that this SM is in an aiming mode. See Table 45 on
Page 179.
Registered AP
This field displays the MAC address of the BHM to which this BHS is registered.
RSSI, Power Level, and Jitter
The General Status tab shows the received Power Level in dBm and Jitter. Proper
alignment maximizes Power Level and minimizes Jitter. As you refine alignment, you
should favor lower jitter over higher dBm. For example, if coarse alignment gives the BHS
a power level of −75 dBm and a jitter measurement of 5, and further refining
the alignment drops the power level to −78 dBm and the jitter to 2 or 3, use the refined
alignment, with the following caveats:
◦ When the receiving link is operating at 1X, the Jitter scale is 0 to 15 with desired
jitter between 0 and 4.
Installation and Configuration Guide Release 8
212 Draft 2 for Regulatory Review Issue 2, December 2006
◦ When the receiving link is operating at 2X, the Jitter scale is 0 to 15 with desired
jitter between 0 and 9.
For historical relevance, the General Status tab also shows the RSSI, the unitless
measure of power. Use Power Level and ignore RSSI. RSSI implies more accuracy and
precision than is inherent in its measurement.
NOTE:
Unless the page is set to auto-refresh, the values displayed are from the instant
the General Status tab was selected. To keep a current view of the values,
refresh the browser screen or set to auto-refresh.
Air Delay
This field displays the distance in feet between the BHS and the BHM. To derive the
distance in meters, multiply the value of this parameter by 0.3048. Distances reported as
less than 200 feet (61 meters) are unreliable.
Site Name
This field indicates the name of the physical module. You can assign or change this
name in the SNMP tab of the BHS Configuration page. This information is also set into
the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an SNMP management server.
Site Contact
This field indicates contact information for the physical module. You can provide or
change this information in the SNMP tab of the BHS Configuration page. This information
is also set into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an SNMP
