This screen provides the following data: 
 
Bridge Status 
Current Status. Current state of remote bridge. While authenticated, the 
remote bridge status should indicate "Associated". 
 
Uptime. Elapsed time the bridge has been up and since the last power 
cycle. 
 
Operating In. Specifies the general frequency range remote bridge is 
operating in. 
 
Security Type. Displays the current Security Type settings for this bridge. 
 
Signal Strength, Radio rates, and Quality: 
 Signal Strength Indicator. Signal Strength is a good indicator of overall 
network quality.  Lower values (below 15) indicate a bridge will only be able 
to communicate at low data rates. Higher signal strength values (above 
15) indicate the bridges have the ability to run at faster data rates.   
 
 
  
 
      
 
NOTE 
Tip: To allow WirelessGRID bridges to monitor their own signal strength 
and dynamically adjust data rates, you can set Data Rate on the Radio 
Settings
 tab to "Best". This will allow the bridge to monitor signal 
strength on a packet-by-packet basis, adjusting data rate accordingly.  If 
signal strength is not optimum, the radio will adapt and change to a lower 
modulation, which in turn lowers the radio data rate, but provides a higher 
effective TCP/IP data rate by increasing radio receiver sensitivity and 
reducing the packet error rate. This adaptive data rate ability provides 
for better overall quality and reliability of the link. 
 
 
 
Last Transmitted. Signal Strength values (measured in dBm) for the last 
packets transmitted. Signal Strength is a good indicator of how your link 
will run. When “best” data rate is selected low values indicate the local and 
remote bridge are operating in a slower mode. 
 
Last Received. Signal Strength values (measured in dBm) for the last 
packets received.  
 
Data Rate - Sending. Displays the current radio data rate being used to 
send data between the local and remote bridge.
