Okay i already created a thread on Nordic forum but thread developers are on vacation.
Device at A: COAP Server program running
Device at B: COAP Client program running and sending sensor data at 200ms time interval.
I would like to know how we can do a proper range test between 2 thread devices. For suppose if i have started a node at A position. Now should i start other node at A position itself and walk away from the node at A position OR should i walk with my 2nd thread device turned off to a B position and start the 2nd thread device from there.
Because the output of both scenario is different in my case. If i walk away with my thread device in hand turned on (say for around 50-100m) than i am getting data on my Server device at position A. As i go further away approx100 meters the data is getting lost which is a normal behavior due to the environment and distance etc. But suppose if i carry my COAP client node turned off to around 50 meters away from my COAP server device located at A and turn it on, I am not able to receive sensor data on my server node.
So at how much distance i should keep my node so that it will be able to reconnect ? If i place my device considering in my mind the first scenario as mentioned above there are high chances it won't reconnect. So i would like to have your suggestion on this, and how to measure proper connectivity range.
I would also like to know is there any parameter available to increase the sensitivity of my thread device. On client device i have already set TX Power to 8dm. Are there any other parameters helpful in this case ? And should i set TX Power to 8 DB on my COAP server device too ? Will that make sense, because server device is basically receiving data.
And in my previous replies i was wrong in mentioning that my device reconnect to thread network after turning it off and on (power cycle). It just doesn't connect to network until i bring device closer to the client device.
Thanks,
Nikhil
