Using FPC 1000 with a Notebook PC

2.2.2.1Monitoring Connection Status and Connection Time

FMM indicates either “Connected” or “Searching”, depending on the Connection Status. The light on the side of the card also blinks until a connection is made. The Connection Time Indicator shows how long your notebook PC has been connected to the network.

When you end the session (turn the computer off or disable the session), this value is reset to zero.
