features of the Utility to setup and configure the card.  This section describes

the features available on the other tabs of the Configuration Utility.

Link Status

Status: Displays the SSID and MAC address
of the wireless access device the PCI555WG
is connected to.

Current Channel: Displays the RF channel
number and frequency of the active
connection.

Current Tx Rate: Displays the highest
possible transmission rate for the active
wireless connection (maximum of 54 Mbps).

Throughput (Kbits/sec.): Displays the speed of
data transmitted and received.

Link Quality: A visual indication of the quality of the connection between the PCI555WG
and the wireless device; higher values represent a better connection.

dBm: Converts the signal strength of the current connection into a dBm measurement.

Signal Strength: Shows the relative signal strength of the signal being received by the
card.  A higher value indicates a stronger signal and may improve transmission rates and
throughput.  You can use this measurement to help you find the best possible location for
the PCI555WG’s antenna.

Noise: A relative measurement of the interference the PCI555WG is receiving from the
outside environment.
