These signal levels are also very useful for aiming the antenna. Adjust the aim such that you get
the best signal strength with the highest possible Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The signal levels
appear as horizontal bars that change colors depending on the strength of your signal. Green
means an excellent signal; yellow means a good signal; and red means a poor signal.
If the Partner is an amplified base station, the weakest link will be the SNR of your signal into it.
NOTE: The signal level information will only appear in the Partner’s section of the screen if
you are communicating with a device with an Agere or YDI Diamond WLAN card in
it (such as an EC, AP 500, AP 1000, AP 2000, etc.).
