LANCOM 1751 UMTS
Chapter 8: Setting up the UMTS profile
LANmonitor's signal strength display is highly useful for testing the recep-
tion quality at locations where the data card is to be put into service. With
a displayed signal strength of three bars (green) you can safely assume that
the signal strength is strong enough for good quality data transfer. With
two bars (yellow) the quality of data transfer is questionable, and with just
one bar there will in most cases be no data transfer at all.

After setting up the Internet connection, you use LANmonitor to check for
the available mobile telephone networks.
Even without an current connection, the active local networks are dis-
played in the 'UMTS/GPRS network' section. LANmonitor also indicates
which networks are permitted and which networks the card cannot con-
nect to.
In the System information section, LANmonitor displays the recognized
data card and the signal strength of the home network with which the
card is connected to the Internet. The display of signal strength and trans-
fer mode depend on the type of card being used.
