Optimizing Receive Levels (RSSI)
As previously discussed in this guide, RF is more problematic at higher RSSI levels so tuning of the
system by strategically reducing transmit power may be necessary. Links should be looked at
individually; in a PMP Network the Transmit Power of each and every remote End Point can be tuned
individually. The Access Point’s Transmit Power should be tuned to the furthest or weakest link.
At the Access Point location, use the RF Ping Tool to test each link by entering the End Point ID of each
remote and clicking Ping. Record the Remote and Local Signal and Noise levels.
Note
If both the Access Point and End Point radios have the same transmit (Tx) power level, the
gains in the system are the same and the link should be well balanced (i.e. have nearly
symmetrical RSSI as in the above table).
