Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service Threshold Modulation Using Threshold Modulation, if one SM’s modulation degrades, then all other SMs’ throughputs are affected as long as the degraded modulation is above the threshold. Once the modulation goes below the threshold, the reaources are no longer increased for that SM, effectively capping the effect to other SMs.

Page 479: Interpreting Frame Utilization Statistics
Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Interpreting Frame Utilization statistics The Frame Utilization Statistics is a feature helps user to understand how effectively the RF channel is being utilized. This feature allows to check Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame utilization pattern and diagnose for any excessive usage in uplink or downlink direction.
Page 480 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Attribute Meaning Frame Utilization Interval Statistics Display interval This allows to configure timer interval to monitor and display the frame utilization statistics. It can be configured for 1 minute (low interval), 5 minutes (medium interval) or 15 minutes (high interval) based on requirement.
Page 481 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Multiplexing Gain This specifies the ratio between the number of logical slots and the number of physical slots used. A physical slot is an OFDM symbol. In non MU-MIMO mode, each logical slot is sent during one physical slot. In MU-MIMO mode a number of logical slots are sent during a physical slot, equal to the number of VCs in the group.
Page 482 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Ultra High Priority The number of downlink data slots used for ultra high priority downlink traffic. Note: The above Low, Medium, High, and Ultra High Priority Counts are physical slot transmissions. For MU-MIMO scheduling, some transmissions can contain data from more than 1 data channel priority.
Page 483 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Bandwidth Request The "Bandwidth Request Success" is a message sent from the SM to Success the AP asking to be scheduled for bandwidth to send in the uplink. This gets transmitted in the unscheduled portion of the uplink. Unscheduled uplink is defined as Contention Slots + unscheduled uplink slots.

Chapter 3: Operation Radio Recovery Procedure 27 Radio Recovery Console Apply power to PSU for at least 10 seconds. Remove power from the PSU, and then re-apply it as soon as the power indicator light goes out (about 1 - 2 seconds). When the unit is in recovery mode, access the web interface by entering the default IP address 169.254.1.1.
