display-environment
When a non-root radio is powered up it automatically performs a “monitor-environment”
procedure (through antenna A and on the selected outbound channel), to identify the best parent
candidate. The “display-environment” command displays a report of the environment as seen
by the radio at the time it got attached to the network. Refer to the “monitor-environment”
command for details about this report.
monitor-environment
channel=0..50
input=a-antenna
or b-antenna
The “monitor-environment” command sets the radio in receive only mode and collects packets
through the specified antenna. If the channel number is not specified, the radio dwells
consecutively in each of the channels that are currently specified (shown in the “display
configuration” report). Otherwise it will set the receiver continuously to the specified channel.
For each packet received the radio identifies its source and whether the packet is a “new node
poll” (NNP) or otherwise. While in this mode the radio refreshes a report periodically that
includes, for each source, a separate line with the statistics of the NNP packets and other
packets. These statistics include a cumulative count of packets received and the Received
Signal Strength (RSS) of those packets.
Among all the sources that broadcast new node polls in the “rf-from-parent” channel, the radio
identifies the one with the strongest signal. This is indicated with the “>>” characters in the left
column of the report. When the monitor environment mode is exited (by depressing any key),
the radio will first attempt to attach to that potential parent.
While the radio is in the monitor environment mode, it is detached from the network. For this
reason this mode can not be invoked from a remote radio. Additionally, a radio configured as
the root is not allowed to go into monitor environment mode since this would bring down the
whole network.
Example:
>monitor-environment ch=25 in=b
>monenv
monitor-flow
This command continuously displays the ethernet data rates between this radio and all the other
radios in the VINE network. It is particularly useful in applications with an “anchor” mode. In
that case, performing a “monitor-flow” at the anchor, allows tracking the current data rates in
the whole network. At the anchor the output also includes the information on the max and min
flow rates of each node.
