Host
MAC address of the station where diagnostic measurements are being collected.
The host will collect diagnostic message from itself and all remote units with IPSD
enabled. IPSD can be enabled/disabled under Setup (Advanced) D IP Services.
Ver
Version of the online diagnostics. Different versions may have different
parameters. This document describes Version 1.
# Number of items that follow in the online diagnostic message.
Period
PERIOD (Seconds). Specifies the time between the generation of online diagnostic
messages from the source station.
Flags Online Diagnostic Flags. (CalAmp specific)
Source
Source Address. In Bridge mode, this address displays the MAC address of the
source Viper. In Router mode, this address displays the IP Address of the source
Viper. The source is the Viper station generating the diagnostic message. This is
also the source station from the point of view of the RSSI measurements
Destination
Destination Address. In Bridge Mode, this address displays the MAC address of the
destination Viper. In Router Mode, this address displays the IP Address of the
destination Viper. This is the destination station from the point of view of RSSI
measurements.
A
Temperature of the source Viper in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Temperature units can
be configured on the source Viper under Setup (Advanced) User D Settings.
B
Source supply voltage in excess of 8 volts, shown in 10ths of volts.
Supply voltage = (ODM_reading / 10) + 8
A reading of 35 shall be interpreted as 11.5V.
C
RSSI measured at the source Viper for the last message received from the
destination Viper. This is also referred to as the Local RSSI. The value displayed
shall be interpreted as shown in Table 5.2.
D
RSSI measured at the destination Viper for the last message received from the
source Viper. This is also referred to as the Remote RSSI. The value displayed
shall be interpreted as shown in Table 5.2.
E
Radio/antenna forward power measured in 10ths of watts at the source Viper. A
value of 51 shall be interpreted as 5.1W.
F
Radio/antenna reverse power measured in 10ths of watts at the source Viper. A
value of 2 shall be interpreted as 0.2W.
G
PER measured at the source. This is calculated as the percentage of packets
rejected due to an invalid header/checksum over the total number of packets
received. To fit a small unsigned integer, this value is multiplied by 1000 and its
max value limited at 255. A reading of 2 means 0.002% of packets were rejected.
