Interpreting the Site Survey Screen

The four numbers on this screen represent, from left to right:

  • Transceiver
  • RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication)
  • FER (Frame Error Rate)
  • Link Quality (this figure is a calculation based on RSSI and FER).

Transceiver coverage zone

Transceiver coverage zone = area where

  • RSSI => 30
  • Link Quality => 3

FER should be as close to 0 as possible.

Below these figures, the beltpacks may start to lose audio. All beltpacks in the system must have sufficient ratings.

Note: You can press the Mode button on the front of the Base Station to check transceiver performance at any time.
