5 Radio Setup
1. When installing antennas, avoid walls, tall buildings, trees, and other solid
obstructions for improving RF signal quality.
2. Having a clear line of sight between antennas is ideal for best RF signal quality.
3. Use the appropriate antenna and use high quality antenna cables with the Wireless
I/O System for best performance.
4. After the entire system is installed, verify if the RF LED on Radio Module is green,
which serves as indication for good RF traffic.
5. Advanced: Run an RSSI test. Connect a PC to the Radio Module’s mini USB port
and utilize the Wireless I/O System Advanced Software to evaluate Received Signal
Strength. In general, achieving above -85 dBm is recommended for signal quality. In
an environment with low interference, 90-100% packet throughput can be achieved
at lower levels, as low as -100 dBm.
