The Point Status Summary screen
The Point Status Summary screen contains the following information:
Point # The point number you’ve selected displays here along with the
signal level of the selected end-device. Good indicates a signal sufficient
for EchoStream functionality; Weak indicates a signal insufficient for
EchoStream functionality; N/S indicates no signal received.
Good displays when the signal margin is 4 decibels or more. Weak displays
when the signal margin is less than 4 decibels.
N/S displays when no recognizable message is received at all, no matter
how weak.
End-device transmission symbol: The end-device transmission symbol, *,
beats when the receiver is hearing a signal directly from a selected end-
device. When receiving a good signal, the end-device transmission symbol
beats approximately once a second, and the receiver beeps accordingly.
High-power repeater transmission symbol: The high-power repeater
transmission symbol, +, beats when the receiver is hearing a signal from
the selected end-device that has been passed on by a high-power repeater.
When receiving a good signal, the high-power repeater transmission
symbol beats approximately once a second.
Rcv Lvl Indicates the overall strength of messages received from the
selected end-devices and repeaters, in decibels.
Rcv Mar Indicates the signal margin of messages received from the
selected end-devices and repeaters, in decibels.
Msg# Indicates the total number of messages received, up to 999.
Batt Indicates the battery status of the end-device as either OK or Low.

Act# Indicates the total number of activation messages received, up to 999.
An activation message is defined as a message that does not fall into the
Tmp, Res and Sup categories described below. For example, an alarm
message on a pendant transmitter would be displayed as an Act message.
Tmp# Indicates the total number of tamper messages received, up to 999.
Res# Indicates the total number of reset and restoral messages received,
up to 999.
Sup# Indicates the total number of supervisory messages received, up to
999.

5 Perform a Site Survey without using Survey
Transmitters
The survey receiver can be used to monitor the signal strength of any end-
device or high-power repeater in your EchoStream system.
1.
Register the end-device or high-power repeater you want to monitor.
• Refer to section 3.3, “Register End-Devices” to register an end-
device; refer to section 3.4, “Register High-Power Repeaters” to
register a high-power repeater.
2.
Place the survey receiver where your network coordinator or receiver is
normally located.
3.
Activate the end-device.
4.
Monitor signal strength.
• Refer to step 5 through 8 in section 4, “Perform a Site Survey using
Survey Transmitters” to monitor signal strength.
