5.5.1.5.RSSI inquiry (AT$$RSSI)

The command is used for reading the current RSSI value of the signal.

The RSSI LED will be OFF when RSSI is less than -105dBm, flashing when in-between the - 95dBm and -105dBm, and ON when greater than or equal to -95dBm.

NOTE: the higher the negative number i.e. the further away from ZERO, the weaker the received signal. The smaller the number i.e. the closer to ZERO, the stronger the received signal.

A flashing RSSI LED indicates potential need for an alternative antenna, relocating the antenna to a site more suited to signal acquisition, or elevation of the antenna to improve signal acquisition, or a combination of all the above.

A consistent RSSI reading of -95dBm or better [number closer to ‘0’] is advisable.
