▪ Light Green - A FFD connected to any Bridge except the Bridge the Appliance
thinks it should be connected to. An examination of the network should reveal

Figure 59 – Sensors and Signal Strength
The lines between Sensors indicate the signal strength between them.
▪ Green - A strong (-60 or stronger) connection. You should see very few of these
in any standard install.
▪ Yellow - A moderate (-75 to -61) connection. Many parent-child connections
should be yellow, but few others should
▪ Orange - A weak (-82 to -76) connection. There should be many of these
connections between non-connected sensors.
