The Status Display

Network status can also be viewed in the top level of the wireless transmitter menu.

Status area: The status of the connection to the host. The host name is displayed in green when a connection is established. Any errors that prevent the camera from connecting to the host are also displayed here.

Signal strength: This icon shows ﬁ ve levels of wireless signal strength. It is displayed in red when no signal can be detect- ed. For maximum signal strength, ensure a clear line of sight between the WT-3 antenna and the wireless LAN adapter or access point. A icon is displayed when the WT-3 is con- nected via Ethernet.
