Link Quality	Displays the quality of the link from the wireless NIC to the Wireless Access
	Point (direct sequence spread spectrum) in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good,
	Very Good, and Excellent).
	• Even when link quality is at its lowest you still have a connection, and the
	ability to transmit and receive data, even if at lower speeds.
	Note: “Link Quality” and “Signal Strength” are applicable to RF connections
	only. It is possible to have an RF signal to a WAP, but be unable to communi-
	cate with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings.
Signal Strength	This indicator displays a description of the signal strength from the Wireless
	Access Point connection in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and
	Excellent).
	SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) is a measure of the relative strength of a wireless RF
	connection. Given this value and the link quality above, you can determine the
	noise level component of the SNR. For example, if signal strength is high but
	the link quality is low, then the cause of the link degradation is noise. However,
	if signal strength is low and link quality is low the cause would simply be signal
	strength.
Connection Statistics
Query Messages Sent	The number of messages sent from the panel to the master.
Responses Received	The number of responses the panel has received from the master.
Responses Missed	The number of expected responses from the master to the panel missed.
