4
Battery
Voltage
11 to 16V.
This returns the battery voltage of the
NETNode. Not exciting when we are on
mains in the lab but important when you
are looking at a node located on a high
building some miles away which is
operating on batteries.
5
FPGA
Temperature
Temperature in Degrees
Celsius (phase 3 units
only).
This is the internal temperature of the
FPGA. The box will become yellow or
red if the unit is too hot. The unit must
be allowed to cool and placed in better
airflow if the temperature reaches the red
zone.
CAUTION: Operating the unit at high
temperatures will lower the life of the
internal components and the RF PA.
6
Occupancy
Blue and Orange bars.
The blue bar gives a visual indication of
the volume of data generated by this
NETNode. An orange bar gives a visual
indication of the volume of data being
forwarded by the NETNode from other
Nodes.
7
Node TX
Retries
Number of Node retries
each 2 seconds.
This must be zero (‘-‘) with occasional
ones. Higher values will have an
unwanted effect the throughput of the
system. If problems occur check for
interference and that there is no other
MESH system operating on the same or
adjacent frequency.

Step 3: Select the Show Details Checkbox
If you select this box you’ll see a lot of data about TX IP Packets etc. This can give you
important information about the operating of the network.
