AXLink Levels
Levels are a means of applying a value to a physical element on the device. The ANT-RDR supports 8-bit
levels only with values from 0-255 to represent RSSI values.
When a device comes ONLINE, the Master assumes the device is at the default level status with all levels set
to 0. However, the ANT-RDR may not be in this default state and needs to inform the Master the value of any
non-zero level.
After a 'LEVON' command is received from the Master the ANT-RDR sends a level update for any levels that
are non-zero.
AXLink Levels
Level Type Function Description
1 CMD/FDBK RSSI Upper
Threshold
The ANT-RDR will notify the Master that a tag's signal has been
acquired when its RSSI signal is above the Upper Thresholds.
• Range = 0-255, with 0 denoting the maximum range where a tag can
be acquired.
2 CMD/FDBK RSSI Lower
Threshold
The ANT-RDR will notify the Master that a tag's signal has been lost
when its RSSI signal is below the Lower Thresholds.
• Range = 0-255, with 0 denoting the maximum range where a tag can
be active before its signal is lost.
3 CMD/FDBK RSSI Sensitivity
Range
The ANT-RDR will notify the Master that a tag's signal has changed
when the current RSSI value is outside the range of the last sent RSSI
value +/- the Sensitive Range.
• Range = 0-255, with 0 being maximum sensitivity.

The Type column denotes who initiates the level change. The Master directs the
