Green: Successful operation has completed (i.e. Changes successfully saved)
Grey: Informational message (i.e. tips regarding GUI operation)
Blue: Operations information message (i.e. Initializing upgrade…)
Orange: Warning message (i.e. Login session has expired)
Icon Attribute Meaning
Undo Button
The Undo button may be used to undo changes prior to a Save operation. All changes made on any section of the GUI are undone.
Save Button
The Save button is used to commit configuration changes to the device. When configuration changes are made, the outer area of the icon is highlighted blue to indicate that a save operation is required.
Reset Button
The Reset button is used to reset the device. When a configuration change requires a radio reset, the outer area of this icon is highlighted orange to indicate that a reset is necessary to complete the change.

The AP dashboard contains the following attributes: Table 43 AP dashboard attributes
Attribute Meaning
Device Name The configured device name of the AP, used for identifying the device in an NMS such as the Cambium Network Services Server (CNSS).
AP SSID The current configured name/SSID of the AP.
Operating Frequency
The current frequency carrier used for radio transmission, based on the configuration of the Frequency Carrier parameter (in DFS regions, if a radar has been detected, this field may display either DFS Alternate Frequency Carrier 1 or DFS Alternate Frequency Carrier 2).
Attribute Meaning Operating Channel
Bandwidth
The current channel bandwidth used for radio transmission, based on the configuration of the Channel Bandwidth parameter.
Transmitter Output Power
The current operating transmit power of the AP.
Antenna Gain The configured gain of the external antenna.
Country The current configured country code, which has an effect on DFS operation and transmit power restrictions. Registered Subscriber Modules will inherit this country code when registration is complete (unless SM is locked to US region).
Downlink/Uplink Frame Ratio
The current configured schedule of downlink traffic to uplink traffic on the radio link. In other words, this ratio represents the amount of the total radio link’s aggregate throughput that will be used for downlink resources and the amount of the total radio link’s aggregate throughput that will be used for uplink resources.
Wireless Security The current configured authentication type used for radio link encryption as well as SM authentication.
Ethernet Interface Up: The Ethernet (LAN) interface is functioning properly. This also displays the current port speed and duplex mode to which the Ethernet port has auto-negotiated to or configured for.
Down: The Ethernet (LAN) interface is either disconnected or it has encountered an error and is not servicing traffic.
Wireless Interface Up: The radio (WAN) interface is functioning properly
Down: The radio (WAN) interface has encountered an error and is not servicing traffic.
Wireless MAC Address
The MAC address of the device wireless interface.
Ethernet MAC Address
The MAC address of the device Ethernet (LAN) interface.
IP Address The current configured device IP address (LAN) used for management access.
Date and Time The current date and time on the device, subject to the configuration of parameter Time Zone.
Attribute Meaning
Device Coordinates The current configured Latitude and Longitude coordinates in decimal format.
DFS Status Current DFS operational status.
Registered
Subscriber Modules
The total number of SMs currently registered to the AP.
The SM dashboard is as shown in Figure 14 and the attributes are explained in Table 44. Figure 14 SM Dashboard
Table 44 SM Dashboard Attributes
Attribute Meaning
Device Name The configured device name of the SM, used for identifying the device in an NMS such as the Cambium Network Services Server (CNSS).
Operating Frequency
The current operating frequency.
Operating Channel Bandwidth
The current operating width of the channel used for the radio link.
Transmitter Output Power
The current power level at which the SM is transmitting (which is adjusted dynamically by the AP based on radio conditions). Antenna Gain The configured gain of the external antenna.
Country The current configured country code, which has an effect on DFS operation and transmit power restrictions. Registered Subscriber Modules will inherit this country code when registration is complete (unless SM is locked to US region).
Subscriber Module Mode
TDD: The SM is operating in the proprietary TDD mode and will only connect to another ePMP Access Point.
Standard WiFi: The SM is operating in the Standard 802.11n WiFi mode and will be able to connect to any Access Point operating in standard WiFi mode.
Subscriber Module Priority
The configured priority of the SM in the sector.
Network Mode Bridge: The SM acts as a switch and the packets are forwarded or filtered based on their MAC destination address.
NAT: The SM acts as a router and the packets are forwarded or filtered based on their IP header (source or destination) which can be grouped into subnets for finer granularity.
Downlink RSSI The Received Signal Strength Indicator, which is a measurement of the power level being received by the SM’s antenna.
Downlink SNR The Signal to Noise Ratio, which is an expression of the carrier signal quality with respect to signal noise and co-channel interference (or both). Uplink MCS Modulation and Coding Scheme – indicates the modulation mode used
for the radio uplink, based on radio conditions (MCS 1-7, 9-15).
Downlink MCS Modulation and Coding Scheme – indicates the modulation mode used for the radio downlink, based on radio conditions (MCS 1-7, 9-15).

The GUI interface consists of two levels of navigation – the first-level navigation buttons on the top (Configure, Monitor, Tools and Quick Start) as well as the context-based second-level navigations on the left-hand side of the interface. After a second-level navigation section has been chosen, the resulting configuration parameters are displayed in the main GUI pane. Each subsection of parameters may be configured to display a clean view of only basic parameters, or the display may also be configured to display a comprehensive listing of advanced parameters.
