updated information regarding the average quality of the wireless link to the AU,
using the dynamically updated average modulation level measurements. The Link
Quality Indicator (LQI) calculation is performed using the formula:
LQI = (0.9 x ”Previous LQI”) + (0.1 x ”Last Successful Modulation Level”).
Each successful transmit will be included in this average, by using the
modulation level in which the frame was successfully transmitted as the “Last
Successful Modulation Level”.
In order to receive quick and reliable LQI measurements, there should be
sufficient traffic between the SU and the AU. It is recommended to have traffic of
at least 100 packets per second. The traffic can be generated either by an
external utility (FTP session, ping generator, etc.) or by the Ping Test option in the
Site Survey menu with the appropriate settings (see section 4.2.5.2

NOTE
If Limited Test is indicated next to the LQI results, it means that the results may not indicate the true
quality, as not all modulation levels from 1 to 8 are available. The limitation may be due to the
configurable Maximum Modulation Level parameter.
