Table 6 Signal Strength Indicator - Vaisala VaiNet RFL100 User Manual

2.5 Signal strength indicator
Signal strength indicator shows the strength of the signal from the currently connected access point.
The indicator is updated when the data logger communicates with the access point, once every four
minutes.

Any signal strength level is fine as long as the data logger stays continuously
connected. A communication break will cause viewLinc Enterprise Server to
trigger a device communication alarm for the affected device. If a data logger is
causing repeated communication alarms, it does not have a reliable access point
connection. Consider relocating or adding an access point to provide a better
signal.
Full connectivity: Data logger has
discovered a viewLinc Enterprise Server
and is connected to it through the access
point. You can now log in to the viewLinc
Enterprise Server and accept the device to
the system.
