The primary indicator to monitor is the communications quality of
the radio connection. This value is expressed in a Signal to Noise
Ratio (SNR). The SNR indicator will change color in the range
‘Green, Yellow and Red, according to communications quality
result as identified below:

When the SNR is rated as “Good” or “Adequate” the performance
of your WaveLAN station will be good as well.

Use the indicators for Signal Level and Noise Level to determine
the cause of reduced performance. The panels for “Your Station”
and the “Link Test Partner” will help you to identify where you
should start “optimizing antenna placement” or “eliminating
