Figure 3.4: Menu Map to Base Radio Link Test
When enough messages have been observed, a link strength will be shown
on the display. >>>>> indicates the strongest link, while > indicates the
weakest link. The Link Test will continue to be evaluated and the rating
on the screen may adjust itself. Keep in mind that the longer the Link Test
runs the more data the Transmitter will have to evaluate.
The Transmitter installation site should strive to place the Transmitter in a
location where it receives the highest number possible. A stronger link
means less data re-transmits and better battery life.
To conduct a Link Test from WMT, make sure that WMT is running on
the PC attached to the Base Radio. Then go to the Transmitter view, and
right-click on the Transmitter you want to test Received data transmission
from (Figure 3.5).
3.2.2.3: Conducting a Link Test from WMT
Once the Normal Transmit Rate is selected, the Link Test will immediately
start. The Base Radio will begin to test the link from the Transmitter. During
this time, the word TEST will appear on the LCD display. When the test is
complete, the Base Radio will display the quality of the link. Be aware that
the length of time it takes to perform this test is dependent upon how fast the
Transmitter is normally transmitting.
