4.2 Diagnostic Information Available

4.2.1 Connectivity

The Connectivity webpage at an Access Point lists all units for which a transmission was
received.

The received signal strength and radio data rate is listed for each Client or Access Point by
their MAC Address. The unit listed at an Access Point may not even be in the same system.
This can provide an idea of how busy the radio band is.

The connectivity page above shows the station it is receiving a valid status from. This
sending units identity is shown as its MAC address for that unit. The graph is a represen-
tation of the RSSI and indicates the value of this RSSI on each of the 50 Channels once
they are received.

The bargraph is colored. Red for too weak or too strong signal (>-50dBm), orange when
the signal is within fade margin, and green when signal is above fade margin.Note that in
the following Connectivity screen for an Access Point, the STATUS section for the Client
is “adjustable contention window”. If the Access Point is V1.18 or later, you can check if
there are pre-V1.18 units in the system – these units will not have “adjustable contention
window”. If this is the case, a compatible contention window size is set, and performance
will not be optimal. Upgrade the firmware on pre-V1.18 units to improve overall per-
formance.

4.2.2 Monitor Communications

The “Monitor Communications” function buffers the last 30 transmissions since the last
enquiry was made. If there have not been 30 transmissions since the last enquiry, the RM-
80 will wait 4 seconds for further transmissions to occur before completing the webpage.
Use of this feature together with the Connectivity webpage will reveal the variability of
communications over a link.
