show target performance values
for AP and Remote transceivers. View these values using the built-in
menu system by navigating the path shown under each table title.

dBm
Sets AP receiver for low gain,
which forces Remote transmit

modulation with greater
SNRs.

Less periodic ranging when
Channel Type = Static.

Notes
Connection Status
Associated
Remote must be associated
for network operation.
Transmit Power
Varies
Adjusts automatically as
requested by AP.
RSSI
(Received Signal
Strength Indication)
Varies
The less negative an RSSI
reading, the stronger the
signal (i.e., -75 dBm is stronger
than -85 dBm).
