DESCRIPTION

 

 

RSSI (dBm)

 

This field displays the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), which is an

 

 

 

 

overall measurement of radio signal strength. A higher RSSI level indicates a

 

 

 

 

stronger signal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CINR (dB) R3/

 

This field displays the average Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio for the

 

 

R1

 

current connection. This value is an indication of overall radio signal quality,

 

 

 

 

where a higher value means a better quality signal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Search

 

Click this to have the WiMAX Device scan for base stations in the frequency

 

 

 

 

band(s) listed in the Applied Frequency Information table.

Device Status

 

This field displays the WiMAX Device current status for connecting to the

 

 

 

 

selected base station.

 

 

 

 

Scanning - The WiMAX Device is scanning for available base stations.

 

 

 

 

Ready - The WiMAX Device has finished scanning and you can connect to a

 

 

 

 

base station.

 

 

 

 

Connecting - The WiMAX Device attempts to connect to the selected base

 

 

 

 

station.

 

 

 

 

Connected - The WiMAX Device has successfully connected to the selected

 

 

 

 

base station.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UMAC State

 

This field displays the status of the WiMAX connection between the WiMAX

 

 

 

 

Device and the base station.

 

 

 

 

Network Search - The WiMAX Device is scanning for any available WiMAX

 

 

 

 

connections.

 

 

 

 

Disconnected - No WiMAX connection is available.

 

 

 

 

Network Entry - A WiMAX connection is initializing.

 

 

 

 

Normal - The WiMAX connection has been successfully established.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BSID

 

This field displays the MAC address of the base station to which the WiMAX

 

 

 

 

Device is connected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frequency

 

This field displays the frequency the base station uses in megahertz (MHz).

RSSI (dBm)

 

This field displays the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), which is an

 

 

 

 

overall measurement of radio signal strength. A higher RSSI level indicates a

 

 

 

 

stronger signal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CINR (dB)

 

This field displays the average Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio for the

 

 

 

 

current connection. This value is an indication of overall radio signal quality,

 

 

 

 

where a higher value means a better quality signal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Connected NSP Info

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NSP ID

 

This field displays the NSP ID of the connected NSP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Name

 

This field displays the name of the connected NSP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Network Type

 

This field displays the network type of the connected NSP.
