Step 4: Interpret the Signal Quality Pane (1)
This gives you a simple picture of the signal quality around the mesh system. Ideally, we’d
like to see stable green boxes for all links. Naturally, mobile units will go out of range or
interference will cause a unit to degrade for a while. The good thing is the mesh will find a
new routing and heal itself when it can, keeping your network on air.
The column position corresponds to the transmit node, and the row position to the receive
node.
What the colours mean:
Colour
Means...
Green
Reliable path for 16QAM modulation.
Yellow
Reliable path for QPSK modulation.
Red
Unreliable path. Avoid passing data across this path.
White
No Link.
