DESCRIPTION OF SOME REGISTERS
REGISTER 35 – OPERATION CHANNEL
Shows the operation channel that the equipment is operating on the network. It can vary from 11 to 25, where each
channel is equivalent to an operation frequency. Among these 15 possible channels, the network operates on the
channel that has the lowest interference.

REGISTER 36 - LINK QUALITY INDICATOR RX FATHER
States the quality of the reception link of the connection between the equipment and the AirGate-Modbus father with
which it is paired. This value is obtained when measuring the power of the last packet received. This power is measured
in dBm, which is a logarithmic measurement of power in mW. The LQI can vary between -100dBm (worst reception
quality) to -15 dBm (best reception quality).
REGISTER 39 - LINK QUALITY INDICATOR RX CHILD
States the quality of the reception link of the connection between the AirGate-Modbus child whose Modbus address was
filled-out in the ADDR_FILHO register. This value is obtained when measuring the strength of the last packet received.
This power is measured in dBm, which is a logarithmic measurement of power in mW. The LQI can vary between -
100dBm (worst reception quality) to -15 dBm (best reception quality).
