Trace Route
Users at the headend may ping a meter by using the Traceroute command. As the
command travels through the system, it will accumulate a history of timestamps
when it arrived and departed each piece of equipment. It will also, for the radio
portions, collect Received Signal Strength Indications (RSSI) in dBm. When the
signal strength approaches the lower limits described in the specifications,
communication will become unreliable.
