Close:

Closes the Connection Utility popup.

Connection Status icon:

The icon in the upper-right corner of the utility provides a constant visual i
indication of current connection status.

A message is sent to the master once per second and expects a response.

• If it is received the button stays green.

• If it is missed the button goes yellow.

• After three misses (3 seconds) it will go red until a response from the master

is received, and then it will be green again.

Once per second, a user can know whether they are standing in a good
wireless area (all green), an area of limited coverage (lots of yellow, some
green, some red), or an area with no coverage (all red).

point and help isolate "brown" areas where coverage is minimal or non-existent,
and thus require another access installed.

SSID

Displays the currently used SSID of the target WAP.

Signal Level Value

The value of the outgoing signal in dBm.

Signal Level

A bar display showing the current signal strength.
