3.8 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION
After the basic operation of the radio has been checked, you may wish
to optimize the network’s performance using some of the following sug-
gestions. The effectiveness of these techniques will vary with the design
of your system and the format of the data being sent.
There are two major areas for possible improvement—the radio and the
data network. The following sections will provide you with a variety of
items to check and on many occasions, ways to correct or improve their
performance.
3.8.1 Performance Information Menu
This menu/screen is one of two primary sources of information on the
radio layer and radio network performance.

•
RF Output Power
(Display only)
—Measured power output.
( See “How Much Output Power Can be Used?” on Page 135 )
•
Signal-to-Noise
(Display only)
—Current running-average SNR
value all active operating frequencies.
(No value displayed on APs)
•
RSSI (Display only)
—Current running-average Received Signal
Strength Indication for all active operating frequencies.
(No value displayed on APs.)
•
Actual Data Rate
(Display only)
—Over-the-air transmission rate (as
opposed to selected data rate) for the remote being monitored.
The fastest data rates can generally be achieved with stronger
signal levels.
•
RSSI by Zone
—Received Signal Strength Indicator by Zone.
