The throughput test can be performed with the "Performance Tests" tool built into the web interface, in the section
"Device status" "Link statistics for the rf6.0 interface". This tool generates test traffic between the devices and it
allows to obtain data about the real link throughput both in one direction and in a two-way manner. The
throughput evaluation is performed using traffic with the specified priority without taking into account the service
traffic required to maintain the link operational.To exclude the influence of the data traffic on the test's result, it is
recommended to set the highest priority for the test traffic (at least 15).Performance tests are always performed on
the highest modulation,the detailed description of the parameters and the performance test settings are available
in the"Device Status menu(see page 73)" article.

Wireless link status
8.4.2.1 Link statistics on the rf6.0 interface
Web interface
To evaluate the quality of the wireless connection with the neighboring device, use the color indication in the
"Status" column of the "Link statistics on rf5.0" subsection:
Red: bad connection.
Yellow: good connection.
Green: perfect connection.
The following symbols indicate problems:
In the wireless connection uptime column:
F - the local device has a newer software version than the remote device.
E - the Ethernet port of the remote device is flapping.
In the TX power column:
* - hardware device failure.
In theRSSIcolumn:
* - significant difference in the signal power between the vertical and horizontal polarizations.
Make sure that the "TX Power" and "Bitrate" parameters match with the values of the planning phase.In the "Link
statistics on rf6.0" of the "Device status" section, pay attention to the wireless connection parameters.The main
parameters are the retries number and the bitrate.It is not recommended to use the link with a retries number
exceeding 5%. The actual bitrate (modulation level) depends on the SNR parameter - the signal-to-noise ratio.The
highest modulations are available at SNR values of 27-50 dB.
