System Tray Applications (for all Windows users)

Note: The SysTray (System Tray) resides on one end of the taskbar in the Microsoft Windows desktop. It displays interface icons for memory-resident applications that execute in the background continuously, such as the clock, speaker volume, and virus detection.

The wireless LAN configuration utility installation for the MA311 PCI Adapter adds a status reporting and configuration utility icon in the SysTray. Once you have completed the installation, the Windows SysTray should show the following icon in different colors. This icon indicates different status conditions, depending on the operating mode of the MA311 PCI Adapter.
