Measuring RSSI

The Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is a measurement of the signal
strength the Base Station receives from the portable. The Base Station controls
the power transmitting mode of the portable. When the Base Station receives
a weak signal, it instructs the portable to transmit in high-power. When the
Base Station receives a strong signal, it instructs the portable to transmit in
low-power. The strongest RSSI value the display shows is - 35 dBm. The
weakest RSSI value the display shows is approximately -94 to - 100 dBm.

Measuring undirected RSSI

You can measure the signal strength between a portable and a system-selected
Base Station using undirected RSSI.
