3.3. Wireless Network Metrics
This page shows the wireless network metrics for your sensors. RSSI metrics for the system
components can be found under the Wireless Network Metrics link in the left side navigation.
These metrics are provided for advanced users with a strong knowledge of RF. You may also
need to provide them to your technician if you engage in a technical support call.

Attribute Description
RSSI This is the Received Signal Strength Indicator. It represents the
received power of the signal. This number will always be a negative
value and is provided for both channels used by each sensor. If there
is a range extender in use it will also report the received signal
strength from the sensor to the range extender.
To maximize the performance of this system, get the RSSI value as
close to zero as you can.
RSSI range correlates to signal strength as follows:
 -30 to -70 = Excellent signal strength

-70 to -80 = Good signal strength, minimal packet loss
 -80 to -90 = Fair signal strength, occasional packet loss expected

-90 and beyond = Poor signal strength, frequent packet loss and
loss of sensor connection is expected
