Reading the Signal Meter
Connected Link
Received signal strength is shown in large text in the center of the control, and as a green indicator in the top dial.
The blue shaded bar and text immediately below the dial represent target signal strength based on distance and
other information exchanged between radios. The objective is to align the green indicator with the blue bar as a
guideline during antenna aiming.
The resulting half-duplex PHY rates shown at the bottom of the Signal Meter control are correlated with the MCS,
and represent raw data across the link without protocol overhead. The Max Throughput values include TDMA
window size and MAC layer efficiency.
The following settings and values that affect link health are listed for reference:
B5/B5c
Channel 1 Center Frequency: True center of the first frequency range (no offset).
●
Channel 2 Center Frequency: True center of the second frequency range (no offset).
●
Channel Width: Number of channels used (1 or 2), and the width of each channel (20, 40 or 80 MHz).
●
Tx Power: Total transmit power level (dBm).
●
Link Length: Distance between local and remote radios (when connected).
●
B5-Lite
Center Frequency: True center of the frequency range (no offset).
●
Channel Width: The width of the channel (20, 40 or 80 MHz).
●
Tx Power: Total transmit power level (dBm).
●
Link Length: Distance between local and remote radios (when connected).
●
B11
Center Frequency 1: True center of the first frequency range (no offset).
●
Center Frequency 2: True center of the second frequency range (no offset).
●
Channel Width: Number of channels used (1 or 2), and the width of each channel (20, 40 or 80 MHz).
●
Tx Power: Total transmit power level (dBm).
●
Link Length: Distance between local and remote radios (when connected).

Click the Spectrum Analyzer button to access the Spectrum Analyzer, which can also be found on the Channel &
Power page. This will not disturb the link.
When a link is not associated, the signal strength and PHY rates are replaced by an indicator of "Disconnected".
Once associated, click the Aiming Mode button on the Dashboard to open a new window that refreshes once per
second for a 5-minute period. The Aim Heading indicates the direction in which the front of the device should be
pointed based exchange of coordinates. The green arrow and blue shaded region on the dial indicator represent
current and target signal levels, respectively. Note that the dial indicator does not represent azimuth. Azimuth may
need to be adjusted in either direction to meet the target.
