RSSI Setup
The VR RSSI Setup screen is provided to assist the users with optimizing the voting algorithm
parameters by creating a typical real-life scenario for VR operation and running some automated
VR tests as described below.
Displays the total number of channels
configured for the VR in the repeater
channel setup window.
Displays the ID assigned to the VR
configured in the VR Common setup
window.
Allows the user to switch between different
VR operating modes OFF, SYSTEM and
LOCAL if Local Mode is enabled.
Local mode must be
enabled to operate
the VR in Local
mode; if this is not
enabled and local
operation mode is
selected there will be
an error.
Enables / Disables Local VR Mode
selection by the user.

Displays the channel number and name
that the VR is current on.
User can change the VR channel by
entering a number that is within the limit of
the total VR channels. The associated
channel name is displayed to the right.
Channel number and name are the same
as the Repeater channel Setup window.
