9.8 (U) Checking Flytrap Status
(S) After the Flytrap has met the Initial Beacon criteria for which it has been configured
(see 15.2 and 15.5) and has sent its Initial Beacon, you can check the status of the Flytrap
on CW by clicking the “View -> Flytraps” menu link. You should see a new Flytrap
entry with the WLAN MAC address in the “Name” field. Clicking this link will take the
user to the “Flytrap Details” page, which displays detailed status information and security
settings for this Flytrap. Figure 8 show the View -> Flytraps page. Figure 9 shows a
Flytrap Details page.
Figure 8: CherryWeb View -> Flytraps Page
(S) The “In Comm” column on the “View -> Flytraps” page indicates whether or not the
Flytrap is still in communication with the system. A red “No” indicates that the Flytrap
has not beaconed within the proper amount of time according to its currently executing
Mission. This time is approximately the time of the last beacon, plus the Periodic Beacon
Interval plus the Traffic Requirement Timeout (it is shown as the upper range in the
“Next Mission Start (est. Range)” column). A yellow “Yes” indicates that the Flytrap has
reached its earliest possible beacon time, but has not yet beaconed (e.g., it could be
waiting to meet a traffic requirement). This time is the time of the last beacon plus the
Periodic Beacon Interval (it is shown as the lower range in the “Next Mission Start (est.
Range)” column). A green “Yes” indicates that the Flytrap is still in communication (i.e.,
the time since the last Beacon has not exceeded the Periodic Beacon Interval). A black
“Killed” indicates that the Flytrap has been killed by an operator.
