SysTray Application
The SysTray (System Tray) resides on one end of the taskbar in the Microsoft Windows desktop. It displays
interface icons for memory-resident applications that execute in the background continuously, such as the clock,
speaker volume, and virus detection. The wireless LAN configuration utility installation for the HA501 Wireless
Adapter adds a configuration and status reporting utility icon in the SysTray.
Once you have completed the utility installation, the Windows SysTray should show the icon in different colors. The
table below explains the meaning of each color.
