...and another thought: It doesn't matter so much if they have a poor connection and don't do anything with it. If you really need to know who's dragging down performance then you need to collect the mod level and amount of usage over time....then you can calculate a weighted usage value for each SM.

It would be a nice feature if you could click a button and temporarily
flood the RF link on all SM's so that 'link status' could be
accurately measured for uplink and downlink. This would be
particularly useful when trying to track down those SM's with poor
modulation that are a drag on the frame utilization.

In addition to what George said…

If you have newer software use the ‘link status’ page - it shows a much
nicer presentation of both sides.

The radios also take some time to reach full modulation.  Without traffic
newly registered links with stay in low modulation.  Force some traffic
through the link and modulation will increase, if the bit error rate is low
enough.    Increasing modulation takes into account the bit error rate, and
without data, there isn’t much to go on.  Slowly ramping up is arguably
better than going to full modulation and then having to drop back rapidly as
soon as data hits.

There still seems to be some misconception on this. 8X/1X means that it's 8X
capable / 1X current. It's always going to show 8X capable (or 2X for FSK,
3X for 430). After the / is what you need to pay attention to. Also, the
uplink and downlink are independent. On the AP session status page (power
tab), that's the downlink rate to that SM. On the SM main page, link status,
etc., that's the uplink rate to the AP.

What band is this? 2.4, 3.6, 5.4 or 5.7? And what software version do you
have on the radios? It'd be best to stick with 13.2.1 for now.

For the longest time I too thought this was backwards. I assure you it's
correct.

8x down 1x up

this is the first sm am trying to install on it

the freq am on is very clean not sure what the problem is....unless am
missing a setting?

Signals on each side?

8x down 1x up?  Could be an uplink path issue or heavy interference at the
AP side.  Have you changed frequencies?  Spectrum analysis?  Is this the
first SM on the AP?

am new to the pmp450 looks straight forward but am having issues
registering it from a distance

when I point the sm  which is 12 feet in front of the ap it syncs 8x by 1x
...but if I go 1mile down the road it doesn't register at all

not sure what am doing wrong...has anyone had this similar issue like
this?

thanks
