The browser interface’s monitoring capabilities include:
•
Receiver settings
•
Signal strength
•
Signal quality
•
Signal lock detect
•
Combiner link status (optional Diversity Combiner feature required)
•
Constellation / eye pattern display

The RDMS™ Browser Interface consists of a tool bar at the top of the screen, shown in

Network screen.

comprised of a table with columns for RDMS address, Configuration Name, Channel, Frequency, Mode, Bit Rate,
signal strength, signal quality, and lock-detect status (as text and as a red or green color block). The user may access
a specific unit by clicking on the Configure or Monitor button for any receiver listed.
The unit to which the user is currently connected is highlighted and defaults to the top of the list.
The Network screen uses a numerical representation for signal strength and signal quality. For a complete

by other users.
