Connection Utility Page

Connection Status icon:	The icon in the upper-right corner of the utility provides a constant visual
	indication of current connection status.
	A message is sent to the master once per second and expects a response.
	•	If it is received the button stays green.
	•	If it is missed the button goes yellow.
	•	After three misses (3 seconds) it will go red until a response from the
		master is received, and then it will be green again.
	Once per second, a user can know whether they are standing in a good
	wireless area (all green), an area of limited coverage (lots of yellow, some
	green, some red), or an area with no coverage (all red).
Connection Information:
Master IP	The IP Address for the connected master.
Panel IP	The IP Address for the panel.
Wireless Information:
WAP MAC	The MAC Address for the WAP currently in use.
	If the MAC Address changes, it means the panel has switched/roamed to a
	different access point. This can be used to determine coverage for each access
	point and help isolate "brown" areas where coverage is minimal or non-existent,
	and thus require another access installed.
SSID	Displays the currently used SSID of the target WAP.
Channel	The RF channel being used for connection to the WAP (read -only).
Signal Level Value	The data rate (in Mbps) at which the panel is currently communicating with the
	target WAP.
	Note: Data rates for 802.11b communication are: 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps.
Signal Level	Displays the quality of the link from the wireless NIC to the Wireless Access
	Point (direct sequence spread spectrum) in real time, in a bar graph.
	•	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: “Signal Level Value” and “Signal Level” are applicable to RF connections
	only. It is possible to have an RF signal to a WAP, but be unable to
	communicate with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings.
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.
Close:	Closes the Connection Utility popup.
