The Gateway analyzes the quality of the signal from
the selected Node by counting the number of data
packets it receives from the Node.
M = Percentage of missed packets
R = RED marginal signal
Y = YELLOW good signal
G = GREEN excellent signal
When possible, install all devices in positions that
optimize the percentage of YELLOW and GREEN data
packets received.
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
percent of received packets.
