7. About the Spectra Displays There are two displays labelled A and B which show the spectra being received on the two diversity antennas of the NETNode you are attached to But there could be several NETNodes transmitting on the mesh so we need to define which unit we are looking at This is done with the radio buttons on the left side of the spectra display In our example the radio button for Domo Office is selected This means the two displays are showing spectra for the Domo Office NETNode transmissions as received on our node s two antennas 7 2 2 Interference The last radio button is called interference When you select this the displays show the spectra when none of the NETNodes in the mesh are transmitting This enables us to look for interference on the frequency we are planning to use for our mesh NETNode V1 5 doc 4 40 DS000034 Unclassified NETNode NETNode Phase 1 and 2 Units User Manual 7 3 Status Tab Maps Pane NETNode Mesh IP Radio Warning connected via the radio link COBHAITT 227 1 Van unit Status Global Settings Configuration Information Encoder Overview Spectra ONetwork O1 0203 O4 i iaaa Node ID 1 Van unit Unit Name Van unit Serial Number 18003621 IP Address 10 10 2114 Battery Voltage 125V TSU Mast Domo Office Latitude 507 62 1395 N Z Longitude 1 15 2088 W HA Height 469m E Speed 0 1 kts Course Accuracy lt 07m Fix 3D 12 Sats Use GPS O Show
