2.4.5 Show Radio Statistics
Option (4) in the Radio Configuration menu allows the user to view data transmission
statistics that have been gathered by the wireless data transceiver during the most recent
session. This is of value when the user wishes to look at signal strength, noise levels, and
the distance of the link between transceivers. Statistics are gathered during each data link
and are reset when the next link begins.
For Point-To-Multipoint Networks, use Intuicom CommPro Diagnostics software to
remotely access these diagnostics values (and more) in real time.

Ideally, noise levels should be below 30, and the difference between the average signal
level and average noise level should be 15 or more. High noise levels tend to indicate
other sources of RF interference, while low signal levels indicate a weak link. The
following sections provide information useful to the process of troubleshooting and
improving radio links.
Average Noise Level
The average noise level indicates the level of background noise and interference at this
modem and at each of the modems used as repeaters in the link. The number is an
average of the noise levels measured at each frequency in the modems’ frequency hop
