Ripwave Modem User Guide

Navini Networks, Inc.

Using Navini

The Signal Strength and Signal Quality are dynamic bar graphs

Monitor, continued

that indicate how well your Modem is receiving signals from the

 

Base Station. To increase the strength and quality of the signal,

 

change the location of the Ripwave Modem. Try moving it closer

 

to a window, to a higher location, away from other wireless devices

 

(microwave ovens, cordless phones), and away from metal objects

 

(shelves, file cabinets). As the Ripwave Modem is repositioned,

 

observe the Signal Strength and Signal Quality bar graphs. Position

 

the Modem for maximum signal strength and quality.

 

If you make a service call to your Service Provider, the Technician

 

may ask you to read the numbers to the right of the signal bar

 

graphs. These will help the Technician to evaluate the best position

 

for your Ripwave Modem. The Battery Strength bar graph and the

 

number to the right of it indicate how much charge is left in the

 

battery (batteries are optional). Without a battery in the Modem,

 

the Battery Strength bar graph and number will be disabled (grayed

 

out).

 

 

If a problem is detected with one of the components, or if a

 

connection goes down, a red circle with a slash

will be

 

positioned over the icon.

 

In this example, the cable connecting the computer and Modem is not operational; the wireless signal between Modem and Base Station is down; and there is no battery being used.
