2.6 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION
After the basic operation of the radio has been checked, you may wish
to optimize the iNET 900 network’s performance using some of the fol-
lowing suggestions. The effectiveness of these techniques will vary with
the design of your system and the format of the data being sent.
There are two major areas for possible improvement—the radio and the
data network. The following sections will provide you with a variety of
items to check and on many occasions, ways to correct or improve their
performance.
