The Icons
The Icons
The icons that appear on the top right side of the window represent the PC, the connection between the
PC and the Modem, the Modem, the connection between the Modem and the Basestation, and the
Basestation to which the Modem is communicating. Check marks over the connections indicate working
connections.
If the connection between the PC and the Modem or between the Modem and the Basestation is
interrupted, an "X" is positioned over the corresponding icon.
The Signal Strength and Signal Quality Bars
Signal Strength and Signal Quality are dynamic bar areas that indicate how well your Modem is
receiving signals from the Basestation.
In particular, the Signal Strength bar area graphically represents the strength of the synchronization
signal your Modem is receiving from BS. The strength of the signal is represented by a group of colored
bars. The higher the pile of bars goes, the stronger the signal is. The color of the bars also gives an
indication of the strength of the signal. Green lines indicate an excellent signal. Orange lines indicate a
good signal while red lines indicate a weak signal.
