Measuring RSSI for a C3050
The Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is a
measurement of the signal strength the base station receives
from the portable. The base station controls the power
transmitting mode of the portable. When the base station
receives a weak signal, it instructs the portable to transmit in
high-power. When the base station receives a strong signal, it
instructs the portable to transmit in low-power. The strongest
RSSI value the portable displays is
-45
dBm (in the US) and
-44
dBm (in Canada). The weakest RSSI value the portable
displays is approximately
-94
to
-100
dBm.
