Figure 10. RF Link Max/Min Received Power History

The received power level (MIN and MAX) represents the minimum and maximum values of received signal levels in 24-hour or 15-minute increments, and is displayed as a numerical value in dBm.

Real-time signal values are not supported on all TRACER 64x0 systems. Systems must be ADTRAN calibrated to provide readings for Rx or Tx Power signal levels. For uncalibrated systems, the received power level is displayed as a numerical value from 0 to 100 where 0 corresponds to 0V RSSI and 100 corresponds to 5V RSSI.

The minimum receive power level is recorded to aid in troubleshooting problem RF links. Radio links with high MIN numbers and intermittent performance are probably experiencing interference, while links with low MIN numbers have improperly engineered paths or excess system losses. A system with MIN numbers varying widely could indicate fading, reflections, or an intermittent installation problem such as loose connectors, damaged coax or lightning arrestors, or water contaminated feedlines.

Figure 11 on page 68 shows the TRACER 64x0 RF Link Min/Max Received Signal Quality History menu page, which displays the available received signal quality statistics from the system. Minimum and maximum received signal quality levels for the RF link (from both the local and remote TRACER 64x0 units) in 15-minute and 24-hour increments are found on this menu page.
