8.30 Radio Status Dialog Box - IFH Radio
This dialog box opens when you select an IFH radio in the Diagnostic view, and
then choose Properties from the Radio menu. ControlScape populates this dialog
box with information retrieved from the radio.
Note: The information on this dialog box is provided for your reference, and cannot be modified.
Serial Number: This is the radio’s serial number.
Radio Type: This is the radio type, for example "IFH Serial" or "IFH
Ethernet".
Firmware Version: The radio’s firmware version. All radios on the network
must use the same firmware version.
Address: This radio's address on the network. The master radio is always 1.
Channel Number: The configured channel number for this radio. All radios
on the network must use the same channel number.
Transmit Power: The configured output power in dBm (mW) for this radio.
Wireless Link Rate: The current link rate (connection speed) reported by the
radio.
Temperature: The current internal temperature of the radio, reported in
degrees Celsius.
Signal Strength (RSSI): The current signal strength (Received Signal
Strength Indicator) in dBm. The graph to the right of this field shows the
signal strength relative to 100%.
VSWR: VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Radio) represents the degree with
which an antenna is matched to the radio system impedance. The typical
commercial standard for maximum allowable VSWR across the entire
bandwidth of a system is 1.5:1. This means that the antenna impedance must
be somewhere between 37.5 and 75 Ohms. A VSWR of 2:1 or greater is
usually considered unacceptable (for receiving purposes only) since it
increases losses in the transmission line.
