Hmm...when the AP transmits, every SM receives it. Maybe it could send
a test pattern for 2 seconds at each data rate and each SM could report
back how much of the test pattern was legible at each rate. The whole
downlink test could finish in 16 seconds.
If you want an uplink result, then each SM has to take a turn at
transmitting, so the length of the uplink test would depend on how many
SM's there are. Could be minutes.
Right in the here and now though, you could have a script trigger a link
test for every LUID via SNMP. Not too hard to do.

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
