7.9. Radio Temperature
The Radio Temperature value is the current operating temperature of the radio in degrees
Celsius.
FREEWAVE Recommends: For proper operation, a FreeWave radio must be in the temperature
range of -30° to +60° C.
7.10. Rate %
The Rate % measures the percentage of data packets that were successfully transmitted from the
Master and received by the upstream radio on the first attempt.
Important!: The rate percentage represents only what the upstream radio received.
l A number of 75 or higher indicates a robust link that provides very good performance even
at high data transmission rates.
l A number of 15 or lower indicates a weak or marginal link that provides lower data
throughput.
Note: Many settings can impact actual throughput, including Master Packet Repeat and Max Slave
Retry.
If the link is asymmetrical, the percentage reported in this statistic can be very high, and the uplink
can still be poor.
7.11. Signal Level
The Signal Level indicates the level of received signal at the radio and at each of the Repeaters
in the link.
l The source of the signal is the radio that transmits to the radio reading this statistic.
l The number is an average of the received signal levels measured at each frequency in the
radio's frequency hop table.
l For a reliable link, the margin should be at least 26 dB.
l Low average signal levels can often be corrected with higher gain antennas, better antenna
placement and / or additional Repeaters.
The individual measurement values at each frequency hop channel are shown in the frequency
table.
If viewing statistics in the terminal interface, press <Enter> when the Radio Statistics menu
appears.
