3.10 Spectrum Sweep
Use this feature to determine if interference is present in the selected band. When the
sweep is completed, the graph displays the average RSSI (black) and maximum RSSI
(red) RSSI measured for each channel (currently selected channel is displayed in blue).
Note: This feature is provided as a general diagnostic and troubleshooting tool only and
is not a valid test for benchmarking performance of the wireless interface.
Important
: This feature will halt all data traffic on the wireless link. The RDL-2000 must
be rebooted at the end of the test period. This function should be performed only during
installation or a scheduled maintenance window.
This test can only be performed using a local connection to the RDL-2000. No user data
is transmitted over the wireless link while this test is running. This operation requires a
system reboot.
