RSSI by Zone Menu Screen
(Remotes Only)
This screen displays the strength of RF signals from the Access Point.
The MDS iNET 900 network integrity depends partially on stable radio
signal levels being received at each end of a data link. In general, signal
levels stronger than –77 dBm will provide reliable communication that
includes a 15 dB fade margin.
If you find there is a poor signal level on one zone, check the Packet Sta-
tistics Menu section Page 46 and record the values. Then, set the ques-
tionable zone to “Skipped” in the Radio Configuration Menu (Page 29)
and look for an improvement in the Packet Statistics error rates. If there
is none, return the Zone to “Active.”
