The units of the RSSI are dBm; –40 is a stronger signal than –70. Because the received signal
strength can vary due to multipath signals, interference, or other environmental effects; this
setting may not give a true indication of communications performance or range. However,
received signal strength can be useful for activities such as:
l
Determining the optimal direction to aim a Yagi antenna
l
Determining the effects of antenna height and location
l
Trying alternate (reflective) paths
l
Seeing the effect of vegetation and weather over time

23.3.60.14 RadioStats
Provides performance statistics for the data logger integrated radio. The data logger will
maintain a radio routing table for each PakBus neighbor accessed using the integrated radio and
this setting is generated from that table. The fields reported for this setting are as follows:
l
PakBus Address: Specifies the PakBus address of the neighbor reached through an
integrated radio link.
l
Sent Packets: Reports the number of radio packets that have been transmitted to the
PakBus neighbor using the integrated radio link.
l
Received Packets: Reports the number of radio packets that have been received from the
PakBus neighbor using the integrated radio link.
