2.5 Installing the Client Manager Software
The Client Manager program is a software tool that you can use to check the quality of
your network connection. It is not mandatory to install the Client Manager program in
order to establish a network connection, but it enables you to view and/or modify your
Emerald USB Antenna Configuration, to test your radio link, and to monitor your
network connection. See Section 3 “Using the Client Manager”, for more information.
