RSSI Monitoring Interface

The RSSI voltage is a function of the signal strength at the receiver and is used to measure the received signal strength. RSSI varies from approximately 0 to 5 VDC. An RSSI calibration sheet is shipped with the system to provide the installer a cross-reference between actual received signal level (in dBm) and RSSI voltage. This sheet is useful for verifying link budget calculations and ensuring proper equipment installation.

Front Panel LEDs

With the TRACER powered-on, the front panel LEDs provide visual information about the status of the system. Table 2 describes the LEDs.
