Overview of MeshTray
MeshTray™
MeshTray is a status and configuration application that reports vital and statistical information
about the MEA card. Because MeshTray is a “tray” application, it stays in the desktop system
status tray when it is minimized as shown in the following figures.
CAUTION: Before starting MeshTray, you must have the MeshView application running to
support many of the MeshTray features.
The MeshTray icon is dynamic and changes to indicate both the current mode of operation and
the state of the wireless interface. As shown in Figure 42 the MeshTray icon is depicting an
inactive or disconnected state. The inactive state applies when a WMC6300 card is not inserted.
The disconnected state applies if a card is inserted but is not yet associated with an IAP6300.

When the WMC6300 is associated with an IAP6300, the MeshTray icon displays the Link
Quality to the associated IAP as color-coded bars as shown in Figure 43. The greater the
number of bars, the better the Link Quality.
