4.2.2 Monitor Communications
To monitor radio communications, it is necessary to configure the Operating Mode under
“Network” as MONITOR. When in the MONITOR mode, the “Monitor Communications”
function displays a continuous list of transmissions that are being received.
As Beacon messages occur very frequently, they have been filtered out from the Monitor
Communications display for convenience.
Monitor communications lists the frame type of each transmission and various statistics of each
transmission, along with a timestamp. Communications can only be monitored on one channel at a
time – the channel that is used for monitoring can be altered on the radio settings page.
Use of this feature together with the Connectivity webpage will reveal the variability of
communications over a link, and other systems that may be in the area.
