Measuring RSSI for a C3060
The Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is a
measurement of the signal strength the Base Station receives
from the portable. The Base Station controls the power
transmitting mode of the portable. When the Base Station
receives a weak signal, it instructs the portable to transmit in
high-power. When the Base Station receives a strong signal, it
instructs the portable to transmit in low-power. The strongest
RSSI value the display shows is -35 dBm. The weakest RSSI
value the display shows is approximately -94 to -100 dBm.
