Reading the Signal Meter

Connected Link

Received signal strength is shown in large text in the center of the control, and as a green indicator in the top dial.

The blue shaded bar and text immediately below the dial represent target signal strength based on distance and

other information exchanged between radios. The objective is to align the green indicator with the blue bar as a

guideline during antenna aiming.

The resulting half-duplex PHY rates shown at the bottom of the Signal Meter control are correlated with the MCS,

and represent raw data across the link without protocol overhead. The Max Throughput values include TDMA

window size and MAC layer efficiency.

The following settings and values that affect link health are listed for reference:

Center Frequency: True center of the frequency range (no offset).

●

Channel Width: The width of the channel (20, 40 or 80 MHz).

●

Tx Power: Total transmit power level (dBm).

●

Link Length: Distance between local and remote radios (when connected).

●

Click the Spectrum Analyzer button to access the Spectrum Analyzer, which can also be found on the Channel &

Power page. This will not disturb the link.

When a link is not associated, the signal strength and PHY rates are replaced by an indicator of "Disconnected".

Aiming Mode

Once associated, the Aiming Mode button is shown. Aiming Mode opens a new window that refreshes once per
