These two fields display the instantaneous wireless Receive and Transmit throughput
displayed in bytes per second. These values are updated every two seconds.

Link Quality

The Link Quality bar graph is only active when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The bar
graphically displays the quality of the link between the node and its Access Point. A label
summarizes the quality of the link over the bar graph, which can take on one of the
following values:
“Poor”
“Weak”
“Fair”
“Good”
“Excellent”

Signal Strength

The Signal Strength bar graph is only active when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The
bar graphically displays normalized signal strength as reported by the radio, averaged over
all frames over 100 bytes long that are received from the Access Point.

3-3.  

Configuration

:

The Configuration Tab contains several fields where operating parameters of the driver

can be viewed or changed. Changes to any of the parameters in this panel can be applied
