Packet Ratio Tab
The Packet Transfer Ratio at Reader is the number of valid packets received ver-
sus the total number of packets sent to the reader. The Packet Transfer Ratio at
Portal is the number of valid packets sent from the reader versus the total number
of packets received at the Portal. If the Packet Ratio is high (near 1, or 100%) your
readers are performing well, even though signal strength might be low. If signal
strength is high and Packet Ratio is low, you may have a problem at the reader, or
there may be interference on the channel that the Portal is using.
