Sorry, Bill, all, I was traveling last week, and just saw this one…
You may have read that this information is reported on the ePMP2000 system. The reason is that that system is a bit limited in the combination of sub-sectors that can be created. On 450m, however, there are no “fixed” sub-sectors, and the beam steering capabilities are nearly infinite as far as where these sub-sectors are created in relation to the azimuth. That said, a good way to tell how well your sector is performing is to run the “Link Test with Multiple VCs”. This will flood the sector will traffic and report back a chart that shows how often SMs are able to be grouped together for transmission, as well as give a total potential throughput. This is assuming that all SMs require data to be sent to them all the time, which may not be the case in actual operation, so your “real” results may not be the same. There are some forum posts that discuss this, and make for better understanding of what we report and how you can use these statistics to optimize the performance. http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/PMP-450/PMP450M-Grouping-Question/td-p/61580/highlight/true/page/2 Also, please try out the 15.1.1 beta load that was released Friday. See the release notes. We added more statistics that will hopefully help make it easier to better optimize the system.

Since subs can be on any o 7 "beams", it would be nice to know which subscriber is on which beam. Well, not exactly nice; more of a necessity. If we can't see it now, perhaps it's on the roadmap? -bp On Fri, Jun 23, 2017 at 1:16 PM, Bill Prince <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I thought I had read somewhere about a way to determine which subsector a subscriber is in, but now I can't find it.
