Connection Utility Page

Close:	Closes the Connection Utility popup.
Connection Status icon:	The icon in the upper-right corner of the utility provides a constant visual i
	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).
Data Rate	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.
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.
