To configure the RSSI output
1. Select Configure > Base Station > System Interface.
2. If your equipment is configured to work with Tait T800 equipment, in the
Characteristics box, select Emulate T800 VHF or Emulate T800 UHF.
This sets the parameters for the RSSI output. Otherwise, select User
Defined and continue.
3. In the Voltage boxes, set the maximum and minimum voltages that the
RSSI output will provide when the received signal varies from maximum
to minimum.
4. In the Signal level boxes, specify the received signal strengths in dBm to
correspond to the minimum and maximum voltages. (If you work in
microvolts, see "Converting Between Microvolts and dBm" on page
When the signal strength reaches the lower value, the RSSI output line will
have the minimum voltage. As the received signal strength increases, the
voltage will increase linearly. When the received signal strength reaches the
upper value, the RSSI output line will have the maximum voltage. Further
increases in signal strength will not significantly increase the RSSI voltage.
