Signal Information
Click the signal strength icon to display the Signal Quality window. The window displays:
● The active network — the network that is currently being used for your data connection. For
example, “3G
(EVDO Rev A).”
● 3G or 4G status:
䡲 Connection status. For example, “Connected.”
䡲 Tables that show the coverage type, RSSI, and Ec/Io (for 3G) or CINR (for 4G).
RSSI reflects the signal strength of the network.
Ec/Io is a dimensionless ratio of the average power of a channel, typically the pilot channel, to
the total signal power.
Note: A more complete set of configurable settings is available in the Advanced Settings window. (See
“Advanced Settings” on page 49.)
