Example and Description of Values (RPN, RSSI, Quality) (Only relevant to Spectralink
Handset Butterfly)
Below is an example of RPN values:
l The hexadecimal numeral system is used to describe RPN values and time slots. RPN values
range from 00 to FF.
l Time slot values range from 0 to B (there are12 time slots)
l Third line shows that the actual base station has RPN number 8, signal quality of connection is
64, signal strength (RSSI) 108, 3BC means third frequency, time slot B, and that the last han-
dover was a connection handover (C).
l A signal quality of 64 is a connection without errors, this number will be reduced by one for
each error (such as reflections or noise). Preferably this value should be steady at minimum
64.
l The value of signal strength range from 110 to 35. Counting down from 110.
