RF Link Max/Min Received Power HistoryThe received power level (MIN and MAX) represents the minimum and maximum values of received signallevels in 24-hour or 15-minute increments, and is displayed as a numerical value in dBm.> RF L INK M IN /M AX R ECEIVED S IGNAL QUALITY H ISTORYFigure 11 on page 68 shows the TRACER 64x0 RF Link Min/Max Received Signal Quality History menupage, which displays the available received signal quality statistics from the system. Minimum andmaximum received signal quality levels for the RF link (from both the local and remote TRACER 64x0units) in 15-minute and 24-hour increments are found on this menu page.Real-time signal values are not supported on all TRACER 64x0 systems. Systems must beADTRAN calibrated to provide readings for Rx or Tx Power signal levels. Foruncalibrated systems, the received power level is displayed as a numerical value from 0 to100 where 0 corresponds to 0V RSSI and 100 corresponds to 5V RSSI.The minimum receive power level is recorded to aid in troubleshooting problem RF links.Radio links with high MIN numbers and intermittent performance are probablyexperiencing interference, while links with low MIN numbers have improperly engineeredpaths or excess system losses. A system with MIN numbers varying widely could indicatefading, reflections, or an intermittent installation problem such as loose connectors,damaged coax or lightning arrestors, or water contaminated feedlines.Press <u> to view the next 24-hour segment (for the 7 day totals) and <d> to view theprevious 24-hour segment.Press <f> to view the next 8-hour segment of 15-minute totals and <b> to view theprevious 8-hour segment.7Days24Hours(8 hoursdisplayedat a time)
