System Tray Icon
The Configuration Utility is installed simultaneously with the driver. The following
sections describe operation of the utility.
After the installation of the adapter Configuration Utility, its icon appears in the
System Tray in the bottom right corner of your desktop.
The color behind the logo indicates the link status:
Red indicates no or very poor link quality.
Yellow indicates a usable but weak link.
Green indicates a good or excellent link.
A green icon with an “X” over it indicates that you are connected to the LAN but
that the driver cannot decrypt received frames.
Entering incorrect WEP keys for encryption causes this; to correct this problem,
you must enter the correct keys at the Encryption menu
You can also view the connection status of the link by placing the cursor over the
Configuration Utility icon, as shown in the following illustration. This illustration
indicates that the PRISM WLAN Adapter is able to communicate, but that the
quality of the signal to the radio is only fair.
