ABOUT THE HA311 SYSTRAY APPLICATION

The SysTray (System Tray) resides on one end of the taskbar in the Microsoft Windows Desktop. It displays interface icons for memory-resident applications that execute continuously in the background, such as the clock, speaker volume, and virus detection. The wireless LAN configuration utility installation for the HA311 Wireless PCI Adapter will add a configuration and status reporting utility icon in your SysTray.
