Site Survey
Site Survey from the Menu System
Use the Gateway to initiate a site survey analysis. Follow these steps to initiate a Site Survey using the Gateway’s buttons and menu
system.
On the Gateway
1. Remove the rotary switch access cover.
2. To check the status of Node 1, change the Gateway’s right rotary switch setting to 1.
The Gateway is now enabled to read the status of Node 1; the display scrolls through the Node’s I/O status.

4. Single-click button 2 to enter the Site Survey menu.
5. Single-click button 2 to begin conducting a Site Survey with the Node selected in step 2.
The Gateway analyzes the quality of the signal from the selected Node by counting the number of data packets it receives from the
Node.
6. Examine reception readings (M, R, Y, G) of the Gateway at various locations. Note that the numbers displayed are a percentage. M
displays the percent of missed packets while R, Y, and G display the percentage of received packets at a given signal strength.
M = Percentage of missed packets
R = RED marginal signal
Y = YELLOW good signal
G = GREEN excellent signal
7. To end the Site Survey, double-click button 2.
