This configuration parameter may also be edited for the reasons mentioned
above in the serial number discussion. To edit the application code, move the
cursor to the “Xmtr App” function and press the right button. Once the code is
modified to the desired code, press the right button from the 1’s digit column. The
new application code is then sent to the Satellite Repeater.
Transmitter Received Signal Strength Indicator
Xmtr RSSI: 78
The transmitter Receive Signal Strength Indicator as shown in the transmitter
configuration screen displays the strength of the transmitter signal as received by
the Satellite Repeater. This is an important indicator of how reliable the
communication between the Wesroc® RMS transmitter and the Satellite
Repeater will be. The recommended absolute minimum signal strength is 30. The
higher the RSSI, the more reliably the system will operate. As the RSSI
decreases, the margin of the signal strength decreases. While the system can
operate with RSSI’s below 30, there exists virtually no signal margin. In these
conditions the transmitter signal may not be received at all if there are any signal
degradations (a truck parked in the just the right location, a distance interfering
signal, rain, snow cover, etc…). With adequate signal margin, the system will be
much more resilient to changing operation conditions.
Day of the Week Scheduled Reporting
Weekly Rpt: SMTWTFS
The Weekly Reporting configuration parameter is used for setting which day(s) of
the week scheduled reporting is to occur. This line shows the current setting for
the day of the week reporting by using a letter code for each day of the week
starting with Sunday. A line showing “SMTWTFS” indicates that the Satellite
Repeater will schedule reports for each day of the week for this transmitter. As
another typical example “-M-W-F-“ shows that reports will be scheduled only for
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
