Viewing Signal Strength with the RSSI Monitor
36
The RSSI Monitor tool provides graphical information about the signal strength of packets
received by the wireless bridge. While this tool is open, the Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) information is updated each time the unit receives a data packet. This tool
is a useful aid when aligning your antennas. You want to adjust your antennas to achieve
the maximum possible received signal strength. There are no units of value associated
with the signal strength; it is reported as a percent of the maximum attainable value.
To use the RSSI Monitor, follow these steps:
1 From the Wireless Bridge Configuration screen (see "Selecting a Bridge to Configure"
on page 15), select the Tools tab.
2 Double-click the RSSI Monitor icon.
The RSSI Monitor appears.
The RSSI Monitor displays two moving graphs:
