rssimean (Received Signal Strength – Mean): Indicates the average received signal
strength, computed since the last screen refresh.
rssimax (Received Signal Strength – Max): Indicates the maximum received signal
strength measured since the last screen refresh.
sinadr (SINADR): Indicates the average signal to interference, noise and distortion ratio
measured since the last screen refresh. The ratio is based on the digital information provided
from the output of the A/D converter, and includes the effects of the AGC.
wrxpkt (Rx Packets): Indicates the number of wireless packets received over the air from

and error correction bytes) successfully transmitted over the air by the local terminal.
wtxpktr (Tx Packets – Retransmitted): Indicates the number of wireless packets
retransmitted over the air by the local terminal. The retransmission scheme is based on the
Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) algorithm that detects when packets are lost, and makes a
request to the MAC scheduler to repeat transmission of the lost packets.
wtxpktd (Tx Packets – Discarded): Indicates the total number of transmitted wireless
packets discarded by the remote terminal, due to degradation in the RF link.

Upload Software

The CLI upload software command is used to upgrade the existing software load of the
AN-30 terminal with new software stored in a binary file on the server or host computer.
Note the AN-30 terminal contains two memory pages for storing two versions of the
software / firmware. The user can select the operating software version using the CLI
command. The upload will always overwrite the secondary (unselected) version;
therefore it is important to select the desired operating version before beginning the
upgrade process.
The upgrade process can be achieved remotely, using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(TFTP) over the Internet. Two input fields must be filled in by the operator: TFTP Server
