The Signal

Strength and

Signal Quality Bars

An “X” is positioned over the corresponding icon indicates the connection between the PC and the Modem or between the Modem and the Base Station is interrupted.

If the connection between the PC and the Card or between the Card and the Base Station is interrupted, an “X” is positioned over the corresponding icon.

Signal Strength and Signal Quality are dynamic bar areas that indicate how well your Card is receiving signals from the Base Station.

In particular, the Signal Strength bar area graphically represents the strength of the synchronization signal your Modem is receiving from BTS. The strength of the signal is represented by a group of colored bars. The higher the pile of bars goes, the stronger the signal is. The color of the bars also gives an indication of the strength of the signal. Green lines indicate an excellent signal. Orange lines indicate a good signal while red lines indicate a weak signal.

The Signal Quality bar area graphically represents the Signal-to- Noise Ratio (SNR) received by your Modem. Again, the quality of the signal is represented by a group of colored bars. The higher the pile of bars goes, the better the SNR of the signal. The color of the bars also gives an indication of the quality of the signal. Green lines indicate an excellent signal or an SNR greater than 21. Orange lines indicate a good signal or an SNR greater than or equal
