This button is used to enable or disable the radio of AWL200.
Current Tx Rate
This field shows the current transmit rate, which is being used for an active
connection.
Current Channel
This field shows the current radio channel, which is being used for an active
connection.
Throughput
The instantaneous wireless Receive and Transmit throughput are displayed in
bytes per second in this field. Every two seconds, these values are updated.
Link Quality
This field reveals the quality of the current connection. Only when the node is
in Infrastructure Mode does the Link Quality bar graph become active. The
bar graph displays the link quality between the node and its Access Point.
Over the bar graph, a label summarizes the quality of the link, which can take
on one of the following values:
“Not
Applicable”
“Poor”
“Fair”
“Good”
“Excellent”
When the Link Quality becomes “Poor,” the driver will start to look for a better
Access Point. As a result, the Link Quality is a very good indicator of receiving
and transmitting errors over the radio.
Signal Strength
The Signal Strength bar graph only becomes active, when the node is in
Infrastructure Mode. This bar graph shows normalized signal strength as
reported by the radio, averaged over all frames over 100 bytes long, which
are received from the Access Point.
Status information about the radio link is displayed in this tab. Detailed
