RE: [smartBridges] Distance and Links-link quality not correct

[Seeni Mohamed]

The values are calculated from the Baseband values (0-40) and the maximum is 40. The values are converted 0-100 scale with formula (-10dbm) and displayed as % values. ( E.g. BB value 40 => 100 %; BB value 20 => 50% ) The percentage value should be able to provide an indication how good the Received signal is.   If you think they values are not correct at the simpleMonitor, you can use the new simpleMonitor Version to define your own RSSI to dbm conversion. This way, you will have close dbm reading with the other vendor reading. We have given this option to key in the own values, but most of the time the default values works much better than the manual method. We recommend the default value which is set by using the formula.   Seeni sB Tech Support [EMAIL PROTECTED]       -----Original Message----- From: Dominic Kilbride [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 2:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SV: [smartBridges] Distance and Links-link quality not correct   Hi all, Martin pointed out that the RSSI signal levels and link quanlitys are not correct in simple monitor. This is definatly my experiece as well. Is this the case for all versions and products? Is there anything you can do about it?   /Dominic Svenska Antennspecialisten AB http://www.antennspecialisten.se   -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Martin Moreno Skickat: den 5 september 2003 06:19 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: Re: [smartBridges] Distance and Links     Keep in mine the RSSI and Link qaulity are not correct in the SB product you need to log into you access point and get a true reading (if it is not an APPO) and or do the manual calculation as to what the true numbers are.     Quoting Rudolph Worrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:   > I have notice a lot of talks here regarding links, distances, antenna types > > and Amps.� It is a little scary because sB braggs a 21 mile range with proper > > antenna (24dbi) in open space.� I took that as a guarantee and I am betting > on > it. > > So far I have been able to get a signal percent or 22% with a 14dbi > directional antenna using the AirNic and a laptop at 6 miles with decent line > > of site.� When the 24dbi grid is added to the equation I get about 90-100 > percent at the same 6 miles away.� Is this good.� Does anyone else get the > same or better. > > If this works at 6 miles at near 100 with decent LOS I am going to bet that > it > will do the same at 10-15 with clear LOS on a tower without an amplifier. > Anyone done this? > > Last question.� What are your feelings on using utility poles for > distribution > of your services and do you think $700/month is too high? > -- > Rudolph Worrell > President > Phone:(540)664-3950 > Fax:(270)458-6431 > www.wave2net.com > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------- > This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ > ----------ANNOUNCEMENT---------- > Don't forget to register for WISPCON IV > http://www.wispcon.info/us/wispcon-iv/wispcon-iv.htm > > The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List > To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges > <yournickname> > To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe > smartBridges) > Archives: http://archives.part-15.org >     Martin Moreno Blazen Wireless 909-907-4106 www.blazenwireless.com ----------ANNOUNCEMENT---------- Don't forget to register for WISPCON IV http://www.wispcon.info/us/wispcon-iv/wispcon-iv.htm   The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org     ----------ANNOUNCEMENT---------- Don't forget to register for WISPCON IV http://www.wispcon.info/us/wispcon-iv/wispcon-iv.htm   The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org�
