Internal Radio Test
The module also has an internal Radio Path test that will allow you to perform a basic radio path test
without the need for a laptop or PC. Two tests that can be run—RSSI, and Throughput. The throughput
test can be disabled independently from the RSSI test, but disabling the RSSI test will turn off both tests.
Typically, the radio path test should be enabled at a modem configured as a client or station
NOTE The Radio Path Test feature should not be enabled on a live system. It is intended for testing
only.

Radio Path Tests
Radio Path Test Settings
Enable Radio Path Test
Enables or disables the radio path test.
RSSI Strong Threshold
Strong RSSI indication threshold.
RSSI Weak Threshold
Weak RSSI indication threshold.
Enable Throughput Test
Enables or disables the throughput test (independent of radio path test (RSSI).
Remote Device IP
Address
IP address of the remote device that you wish to path test.
Throughput High
Threshold
High throughput indication value. Generally configured with the desired
throughput level.
Throughput Low
Threshold
Low throughput indication value.
RSSI
The first test uses the RS232, LED to indicate the RSSI level from the access point. The LED will be green
when the RSSI to the access point is greater than the configured RSSI Strong Threshold or red when the
RSSI to the access point is greater than the configured RSSI Weak Threshold. If the RSSI to the AP is less
than the RSSI Weak Threshold, the RS232 LED will be off. When the Radio Path Test is enabled, the OK LED
will flash alternately between green and red indicating that it is in a diagnostic mode.
