4.6.5 Cable Break Detection
One common application interconnects a line of RLX2-IHx Masters with Radiating Cable,
allowing mobile platforms to move down the line roaming from Master to Master. The
radiating cable between the Masters allows them to receive each other's packets, in
particular each other's Beacon frames. It is therefore possible for a Master to detect if
the Radiating Cable between itself and the next or previous Master is broken or
damaged. When enabled, this feature will produce an SNMP Trap whenever it detects
an RSSI drop to one of its Monitored Peers.
A cable break is defined as a change in RSSI greater than the Cable Break Threshold.
The RLX2-IHx will automatically determine the closest Peers and will adopt a baseline
RSSI from each Peer when it is first picked to be monitored.
