A. DIAGNOSTICS
1. Monitor
The throughput monitor graph will show the amount of throughput traffic
that is being transmitted across the Mesh system. The rate can be seen
in Megabits per second or percentage of overall throughput capacity.
The graph shown indicates a 2.5 Mbps stream
being pulled across the Mesh network. As soon
as the stream is accessed, the graph jumps
from <1M up to an average of 2.41 Mbps.
2. Network
Below is a screen shot of the network diagnostic tools. See following
pages for detailed information.

NETWORK TOOLS
In addition to using the Microsoft® Command Prompt, the user can also use the
Mesh web browser to ping the other Mesh nodes on the connected network(s).
NETWORK INFORMATION
Mesh routes, stations and the network topology can be identified through the
network information diagnostic tools.
SYSTEM ROUTES
The routes indicate the wireless network topology of the mesh connections.
MESH STATIONS
The Mesh stations show the throughput rate and signal strength (RSSI). These
indicators help to determine what environmental factors could be limiting the
mesh connections. The RSSI can be used as an in depth form of antenna
alignment for high gain directional antennas.
A max connection is 54 M for the rate. Signal strengths can be any number 0-100
but typically seen in the 30 to 40 range. Any RSSI above 20 is an acceptable link.
The rate and RSSI indications are a snapshot of the last packet to cross the link. All
rate and RSSI figures should be refreshed several times to achieve an average
number.
