This screen contains the following fields:
Table 22 Link Status
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION | 
| Profile | This field displays the profile name. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| BSID | This field displays the MAC address of the base station to which the WiMAX | 
| 
 | Device is currently connected. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| RSSI | 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 R3 | This field displays the average Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio (R3) for | 
| 
 | the current connection. This value is an indication of overall radio signal quality, | 
| 
 | where a higher value means a better quality signal. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| CINR R1 | This field displays the average Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio (R1) for | 
| 
 | the current connection. This value is an indication of overall radio signal quality, | 
| 
 | where a higher value means a better quality signal. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| CINR Std Dev | This field displays the average Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio (Std Dev) | 
| 
 | for the current connection. This value is an indication of overall radio signal | 
| 
 | quality, where a higher value means a better quality signal. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| Frequency | This field displays the frequency in kilohertz (KHz). | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| TX Power | This field displays the transmission power of the WiMAX Device in dBm. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| UL MCS | This field displays the Uplink Modulation and Coding Sequence (UL MCS). | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| DL MCS | This field displays the Downlink Modulation and Coding Sequence (DL MCS). | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| RF Temperature | This field displays the temperature in centigrade of the WiMAX Device’s RF | 
| 
 | circuit. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| Link Uptime | This field displays the length of time the current connection has been up. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| Handover Success | This field displays how many times the WiMAX Device had ever successfully | 
| 
 | switched its connection from one base station to another base station, since the | 
| 
 | WiMAX Device last restarted. |
