Hei whakapai ake i te firmware:

1. I roto i te ripa Pūmārō, patohia te taputapu > Tirohia mo te Whakapai.
2. Mena kei te watea he whakamohoatanga, paopao Whakamohoa ina tonohia.

He meneti torutoru pea te tukanga. Kia mau ki te ahunga whakamua i roto i te tono BlueEye kia tutuki pai ai te whakamohoatanga. Ka taea e nga Kaihanga me nga rangatira te mahi i te whakahoutanga.

Te Kaha Waitohu me te Whakawhiti Mana Aroturuki

Ko te tono BlueEye e whakarato ana i nga maaramatanga mo te kaha tohu o ia taputapu me te mana tuku hei arotau i nga mahi.

Ki view te RSSI me te awhe hiko tuku:

1. When in the Hardware tab, tap the   icon next to the Wireless tab. A pop-up window with the RSSI and transmit power range is displayed.
2. Maximum power transmitted by K38M:
   • 868 MHz: +14 dBm
   • 914 MHz: +22 dBm

Tap i runga i tetahi taputapu kua whakarārangitia ki view te kaha tohu me etahi atu taputapu taputapu. Ka whakaatuhia nga tawhā e whai ake nei mo ia taputapu:

•  P – Received signal strength at the panel
•  N – Received signal strength at the device
• – Tukua te mana o te taputapu.
• – Te panui pāmahana o naianei o te taputapu.
• – Te taumata pākahiko o te taputapu

Ko te uara P me te N teitei ake e tohu ana he kaha ake, he maamaa ake te whakawhitiwhiti korero i waenga i te papatohu me te taputapu.

•  If P is low, the console struggles to receive signals from the device.
•  If N is low, the device struggles to receive signals from the console.

FAKATOKANGA: Ko nga uara kei raro iho i te -93 me te kaha Tx teitei kaore i te taunakihia nga uara, ka taea te whakamahi RPT5M ki te whakawhānui i te awhe.
Ka pa ana te tuku hiko ki a P anake:

• Ka piki te tuku hiko, ka pai ake te uara P i te papatohu, na te mea ka tukuna he tohu kaha ake.
• If the P value is good, the device can reduce its transmission power to save battery life.
