Has anyone taken a calibrated spectrum analyzer and compared the readings to the software readings. I have an analyzer but I have not done this as it requires the analyzer to be at the same spot the APPO is. Sometimes it's impractical to have the analyzer up 200 feet.I might do this on the roof of our bldg when I get a spare APPO to compare to.

I have to agree with Marlon, I see no reason to have "user defined" dbm values. Just have it display the correct dbm reading.

Why would we specify the db value???
We just need to know what it REALLY is so we can compare measured to calculated values!

Typically the Base Band Processor which is heart of Radio gives out the values in the range of 0-40 which indicates the RSSI values.
These RSSI values from Base Band ( 0-40 ) are converted on the scale of 0-100 % to show the % Values.
The Internal formula is used to convert the RSSI in % to RSSI in dBm, these values are typically shown in the Client Info and Link Status tab.
The new simpleMonitor for airPointPRO and the not yet released for airBridge allows you to modify the RSSI Values shown in dBm to suit your requirements using this option.
If you want your specific values to be shown in there, please store them in the table as shown and set the option as "User Defined" and Click "Save Table" button. Please make sure that you are keying in all the values.

Hey Smartbridges,
Any word on the dbm signal strength readings?

This is obviously wrong, since the highest I have ever seen with a PCMCIA
card and a pigtail is -50 or so.
