Setting the Operating Mode
The Hopper Plus starts up in Normal mode. Three modes are available for test purposes:
Receive, Transmit, and RSSI.
When testing a bridge, one unit is placed in Transmit mode and the other unit is placed in
Receive mode. The transmitting unit sends packets of known data to the receiving unit.
The receiving unit analyzes the data and can display llink statistics on a terminal, as
shown below.
Link Statistics
Receive
Receives only. Processes expected packet data and displays
statistics on RS-232 monitor.
Transmit
Transmits only. Sends known packet data to the receiver.
RSSI
RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). Unit receives
packets and displays fade margin data on Air LED.
