Range Beep

The range beep function enables a beep to be played whenever the VoWiFi Handset experiences
a filtered field strength of below the configured value (default -70 dBm) from the currently
associated access point. Since the value is filtered, sudden drops in field strength caused by the
environment, for example walking through a door into a room, will be delayed, thus it is
important to walk slowly through the site to cover all weak spots.

Configurable RSSI Threshold

The RSSI threshold of the VoWiFi Handset is set to -70 dBm (default). In the site survey menu
