Path Management
The CDR-915 has powerful path management tools to help ensure successful field
installations. The Path Management window has two modes, Continuous and On-Sync.
The Continuous mode is not available for the CDR-915. The Spectrum Analyzer mode
should be used instead.
The On-Sync mode allows the installer to look only at radio transmissions for CDR-915
radios. When packets are received, the transmission’s current and maximum signal
strength is displayed along with the packet’s source group code and address. This
allows the installer to ensure there is adequate signal strength with enough fade margin
to guarantee reliable operation. Signals in the green area are considered very reliable,
those in the yellow area are marginally reliable and signals in the red area are
considered not reliable.
The graph will display information for as many as 16 radio addresses. As new addresses
are received, they will replace the oldest ones in the graph. The last received signal is
indicated by a crosshatch in the bar. Clicking on the Stop button will reset the graph
information.
