After logging in to the web UI, the device dashboard is presented with quick information about the RN. The Hostname of the device is listed at the top. The Hostname being in green text indicates the device is connected to the Tarana Cloud Suite (TCS). An alarm icon in the top right corner will change to red to indicate active alarms that may require attention. The middle of the screen shows a graphical display of current upload and download traffic in Mbps. The following information is also available under the graph:
-
Frequency: The operating frequency of the radio in GHz.
-
Channel Width: Channel width in MHz.
-
Path Loss - Measured path loss in dB.
-
RF Range: Indicates length of path taken by signal between communicating devices, which includes reflections and diffractions (in meters).
-
Rx Signal Level: The received signal in dBm.
-
Temperature: Internal temperature of the RN at the board.
-
DL Peak: Highest measured download throughput (in Mbps) since the link was brought up.
-
UL Peak: Highest measured download throughput (in Mbps) since the link was brought up.
-
DL Packets: Number of packets downloaded.
-
UL Packets: Number of packets uploaded.
-
DL PER: Downlink packet error rate.
-
UL PER: Uplink packet error rate.

Note: In a G1 network, Path Loss is an important metric in determining the link quality. Path Loss dictates the achievable MCS level.
