Improving Signal Strength - Russound Collage Installation Manual

GRIdCAST VERIFICATION
Deciphering the numbers
The Gridcast network verification may show some locations with a
strength number less than 6. The following example shows how to work
through such situations and ensure quality communication between
devices. The beauty of Collage is that all Gridcast network information
can be seen from any one keypad, simply by choosing to see Details. One
look provides a global view (Diagnostics) or any device's view (Details).
Finding the reason
In the example Diagnostics screen, the only unacceptable number
is the Baby's Room (5). The Details screen reveals where that number
comes from; the keypad sees the Den as a 5.
Because the Den reports (on the Diagnostics screen) that it sees the
other rooms at a 9 or greater, the keypad to relocate and retest would
be the Baby's Room.
The Gridcast Diagnostic
screen shows the Baby's
Room network strength is 5
(unacceptable).
With Baby's Room
highlighted, press the select
button to view Details.

The Details screen reveals how
the Baby's Room keypad sees
the rest of the network.
The letters and numbers after
the score are for Russound
Tech Support diagnostics only.

Troubleshooting two or more low numbers
If two or more low numbers (5 or less) show on the Gridcast Diagnostic
screen, look into the Details of each device to see if there are multiple
problem sites or one common offender causing the low score. This can
save time and retesting if only a single unit must be relocated. In the
example below, the Media Manager needs to be relocated and retested.
