Overview of the MeshTray Application
MeshTray™
MeshTray is a status application that reports vital and statistical information
about the
card. Because MeshTray is a “tray” application, it stays in the
desktop system status tray when it is minimized as shown in Figure 13 and
Figure 14. The MeshTray icon changes to indication of the state of the wireless
interface. In Figure 13 the MeshTray icon is in an inactive or disconnected state.
