to the associated AP (Infrastructure Mode only). The number of times the terminal
has roamed to and from APs, the current data rate and the network status are
displayed. Signal quality is an indicator of how clearly the adapter can hear the
associated AP.

Field
Missed Beacons
Figure 9-33. Mobile Companion - Signal Tab
Table 9-19. Signal Fields
Displays the amount of beacons (uniform system packets broadcast by the
AP to keep the network synchronized) missed by the terminal. The fewer the
missed beacons the better the signal. As long as the LED to the right of the
graph is green the AP association is not jeopardized by an excess of missed
AP beacons. If the LED is Red, an association with a different AP could be
warranted to reduce the amount of missed beacons and improve the signal.
