Verifying signal strength

The Wireless MultiModem establishes a call if the signal is sufficiently strong. To verify the signal strength, do the following:

1.Using the Hyperterminal program at the computer to which the Wireless MultiModem is connected, type the AT command AT+CSQ. A value for the received signal strength will be returned.

2.Verify the result with the following chart:
