RF Status, Ethernet Status, Remote Tracer Status

TRACER 5045 System Manual	Section 5 User Interface Guide

C. RF Status

A graphical indicator of the TRACER RF links is located beneath the Technical Support contact number. The status of the received radio link is indicated as RF UP or RF DOWN for each direction. This RF status display corresponds to the RF DOWN LED on the front of the unit.

D. Ethernet Status

A visual status of the current configuration for each 10/100BaseT/TX ethernet interface (for both the local and remote TRACER systems) is provided on the TRACER 5045 System Status menu page. The current operational speed of each ethernet interface (10BT or 100BT) indicates whether the interface is 10BaseT or 100BaseTX. A blank line next to the port number indicates there is no active ethernet link on the interface. A separate ethernet status page is accessible from the main menu to provide detailed ethernet information.

E. Remote TRACER Status

The right portion of the TRACER 5045 System Status menu page reports the status of the remote TRACER 5045 (the system across the wireless link from the active terminal). If the RF link is down, DATA NOT AVAILABLE is displayed in place of the remote system status information.

F. Local TRACER Status

The left portion of the TRACER 5045 System Status menu page reports the status of the local TRACER 5045 (the system where the active terminal is attached).

G. Frequency Plan

Displays the frequency plan (A or B) for the TRACER 5045 unit. For an operational TRACER 5045 system you should have one A and one B frequency plan.

H. Rx Quality

Displays an indicator of receive signal quality that is not necessarily related to receive signal level (for both the local and remote units) using a series of symbols (#). The more symbols displayed, the better the signal quality. This indicator is related to signal-to-noise ratio and features a colon (:) marker to indicate 10-6bit error rate. This indicator is useful as a diagnostic tool to help identify interference, as the system may have high receive signal level and poor signal quality in situations where interference is an issue.

I. Rx Power

Displays the approximate receiver levels (for both the local and remote units) using a series of symbols (#). The more symbols (#) displayed, the stronger the signal. If the link is down and remote end data is unavailable, DATA NOT AVAILABLE is displayed in place of the symbols (#).

J. Tx Power

Displays the approximate transmitter levels (for both the local and remote units) using a series of symbols (#). The more symbols (#) displayed, the stronger the signal. If the link is down and remote end data is unavailable, DATA NOT AVAILABLE is displayed in place of the symbols (#).

K. Navigation Reminders

Displays system navigation reminders. For more details on system navigation, refer to Navigating the Terminal Menu on page 40.
