5.4.3 Monitor commands and Responses
5.4.3.1 @CA Target station all channel RSSI absolute level measurement
The RSSI (Received Signal Strength Intensity) of the specified target station is measured over all channels. It is
possible to check the floor noise level of the field, third party field strength, and noise level of the system itself. The
RSSI value is the received strength of the radio waves inducted through the antenna of the target station. The
measured value is output as a 2-digit hexadecimal number in ASCII characters that expresses the absolute value for
RSSI. The code of the RSSI value acquired is minus.
Format 1: ‘@’ + ‘CA’ + ‘/’ + route infor ‘CRLF’
Format 2: ‘@’ + ‘CA’ + ‘CRLF’

rr,rr,…,rr: Shows the route information in 2 hexadecimal digits and ASCII characters Value: 00h to FEh, number
of relay stations maximum 10 units
With Format 1, the route information is entered directly in the command.
With Format 2, transmission is based on route information set in the route register with the RT command or on
the content of the Destination ID. When entering the route information, enter the Equipment ID of the target unit
at the end. If no route information is set (NA set for the RT command), the equipment set as the Destination ID
will be the target station.
It is possible to make the source station the target. In this case, after entering one or more relay stations, enter
the Equipment ID of the source station at the end.
Example: The RSSI of target equipment number 8F is measured over all channels. The relay stations are 01, 02,
and 03.
