4.7 Viewing Access Port Information

The Access Ports
managed network. Use this data as necessary to check all the APs that are active, their VLAN assignments,
updates to AP description as well as their current authentication and encryption schemes.
NOTE: Up to 256 Access Ports are supported by the RFS6000 and RFS7000 switches. Up
to 6 Access Ports and 24 Adaptive APs are supported by the RFS4000 switch. The actual
number of Access Ports adoptable by a switch is defined based on access port or Adaptive
AP licenses and on a per platform basis and will typically be lower than 256.
NOTE: The Motorola RF Management Software is a recommended utility to plan the
deployment of the switch and view its configuration once operational. Motorola RFMS
can help optimize the positioning and configuration of a switch and Access Ports in
respect to a WLAN's MU throughput requirements. For more information, refer to the
Motorola Web site.

4.7.1 Configuring Access Port Radios
Refer to the Configuration
the radios listed, you have the option of editing a radio's properties, deleting a radio, adding a new radio,
resetting a radio, scanning available channels, or exporting a radio.
To view Access Port Radio configuration details:
1. Select Network
Displays the average call quality using the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) call quality
scale. The MOS scale rates call quality on a scale of 1-5 with higher scores being
better. If the MOS score is lower than 3.5 it is likely that users will not be satisfied
with the voice quality of calls.
Displays the total number of voice packets lost for each MU.
Displays the average jitter time for calls on the displayed MUs. Jitter is delays on
the network that can result in a lag in conversations. A jitter score higher than
150ms is likely to be noticed by end users during a call.
Displays the average latency in milliseconds for calls on the selected MUs.
Displays the start time for this call. This is the timestamp of the start of the call
on the switch.
screen displays a high-level overview of the APs created for use within the switch
tab to view existing radio configurations available to the switch. After reviewing
