The Link Budget Calculator
The Link Budget Calculator is part of the RADWIN Manager software and is
found in the Help menu. This useful utility enables you to calculate the
expected performance of the wireless link and the possible configurations
for a specific link range including antenna size, cable loss and climate condi-
tions. For full details, see Appendix B.
Performance Monitoring
WinLink™ 1000 Performance Monitoring constantly monitors traffic over the
radio link and collects statistics data for the air interface, TDM and Ethernet
ports. It does so continuously, even when the RADWIN Manager is not con-
nected.
Two types of logs are recorded:
• Monitor Log that records statistics on traffic rate and radio signal
strength.
• Events Log that records when the rates fall above or below a pre-
defined threshold. See page 9-13 below.
Both the statistics Monitor log and events log can be saved as text files.
The Monitor Log
The Monitor Log records performance statistics for predefined intervals. You
can save the monitor log to a text file, as well as display the information in
an on-screen report.
