Hi,
I have just added a Paradox wireless repeater RPT1 to my Magellan 5050. In the BabyWare software, I can see a signal strength indicator for the repeater, which I assume gives an indication of the strength of the signal between the main 5050 panel and the repeater (someone correct me if I am wrong, please).
BabyWare also gives signal strength for, say, a wireless keypad (K37). BUT, I think this is the signal strength between the keypad and the MAIN 5050 panel, not the strength that the REPEATER receives the keypad by? Is this correct?
Is there a way to see what the ZONE signal strength is between the REPEATER and each of the wireless modules that it is talking to (not the main panel and the wireless modules)?
I am basically trying to determine whether my repeater is doing its job of improving the weak signal of the modules that are far away from my main panel. But the only info I have is the signal strength from the module back to the main board, and not the repeater...
Looking forward to any advice in this regard.

Re: Paradox Wireless Repeater Signal Strength
In Babyware once your panel account is open see under modules and double click RPT1
A new page will open and select Repeat Zones tab
Here you need to select only the zones that needs repeating (manual page 32, Wireless Repeater Options)
Remote controls will be automatically repeated.
Also see Repeat Keypads and Repeat PGMs tabs
To accurate check wireless signal strength, see page 19 in the manual.
Wireless Transmitter Signal Strength
The signal strength test for wireless transmitters is performed in sections [101] to [132]; these sections represent zones 1 to 32, respectively. To test the wireless
transmitter strength of your various wireless devices, proceed as follows:
1. Enter the zone’s respective section (e.g., for zone 1, enter section [101]).
2. Press the transmitter’s anti-tamper switch and note the number of beeps which are emitted. As shown in table 10, the number of beeps correspond to a preset
