158 Part H: Diagnosing
The Current output level box displays the voltage currently on the RSSI
output pin.
Setting a Fixed RSSI Voltage
1. Select Diagnose > Reciter > Misc I/O.
2. In the Force output level to box, enter the voltage level you want.
3. In the adjacent box, select V.
4. Click Start Test. This unlinks the RSSI output pin from the reciter's
operating logic. The RSSI output pin is initially set to 0 V, and then the test
puts the selected voltage directly on the RSSI output pin.
5. Click Stop Test to stop the test. This gives control of the RSSI output back
to the base station.
Testing the RSSI Output
1. Select Diagnose > Reciter > Misc I/O.
2. In the Force output level to box, enter a nominal received signal strength
in dBm.
3. In the adjacent box, select dBm.
4. Click Start Test. This unlinks the RSSI output pin from the reciter's
operating logic.
The RSSI output pin is initially set to 0 V, and then the test uses the con-
figuration in Configure > Base Station > System Interface to calculate a
voltage from the signal strength you specified and put it on the RSSI output
pin.
5. Using test equipment, measure the voltage on the RSSI output pin and
confirm that it is as you would expect. Also check the voltage in the
Current output level box.
6. Click Stop Test to stop the test. This gives control of the RSSI output back
to the base station, which updates the voltage with a value computed from
the currently measured received signal strength.

Sending a Test Email

1. Select Diagnose > Reciter > Misc I/O.
2. In the Email area, click Start Test. The base station sends a test email using
the configuration in Configuration > Communications > Email.
