DIAGNOSTICS 
1.

 

Monitor 

The throughput monitor graph will show the amount of throughput traffic 
that is being transmitted across the Mesh system. The rate can be seen 
in Megabits per second or percentage of overall throughput capacity. 

 

 
 

The graph shown indicates a 2.5 Mbps stream 
being pulled across the Mesh network. As soon 
as the stream is accessed, the graph jumps 
from <1M up to an average of 2.41 Mbps.

Network 
Below is a screen shot of the network diagnostic tools. See following 
pages for detailed information.

WES Mesh Wireless System Operations Manual 

 

ADVANCED OPERATION (CONTINUED) 

 

NETWORK TOOLS 

In addition to using the Microsoft® Command Prompt, the user can also use the 
Mesh web browser to ping the other Mesh nodes on the connected network(s). 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NETWORK INFORMATION 

Mesh routes, stations and the network topology can be identified through the 
network information diagnostic tools. 
 
SYSTEM ROUTES 
The routes indicate the wireless network topology of the mesh connections. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MESH STATIONS 
The Mesh stations show the throughput rate and signal strength (RSSI). These 
indicators help to determine what environmental factors could be limiting the 
mesh connections. The RSSI can be used as an in depth form of antenna 
alignment for high gain directional antennas. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A max connection is 54 M for the rate. Signal strengths can be any number 0-100 

but typically seen in the 30 to 40 range. Any RSSI above 20 is an acceptable link. 

The rate and RSSI indications are a snapshot of the last packet to cross the link. All 

rate and RSSI figures should be refreshed several times to achieve an average 

number.
