Overview of MeshNetworks’ MeshTray
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 18 and Figure 19. The MeshTray icon
changes to indication of the state of the wireless interface. In Figure 18 the MeshTray
icon is in an inactive or disconnected state.

The MeshTray icon shown in Figure 19 is currently associated with an AP400. The
MeshTray icon displays the Link Strength to the associated IAP as color-coded bars.
(More bars indicate greater Link Quality.)
