This indicates the signal strength. If the signal is weak, try moving closer
to the base station.
This field displays the current status of the MAX-706's WiMAX
connection. The possible states are:
N/A - The utility cannot detect the MAX-706 installed.
Standby - The utility has detected the MAX-706 installed but has not
detected a signal from the base station.

Network Entry - The MAX-706 is connecting to a base station.
Operational - The MAX-706 has successfully registered to a base
station.
Disconnected - The connection has been stopped by clicking the
button in the utility.

This field displays how many packets have been sent from the MAX-706
since the utility was started.
If you are connected to a WiMAX network this field will display the
Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). This value is a
measurement of overall radio signal strength. A higher RSSI level
indicates a stronger signal, and a lower RSSI level indicates a weaker
signal.
Note: A strong signal does not necessarily indicate a good
signal: a strong signal may have a low signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR).
This field shows the average Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio
(CINR) of the current connection. This value is an indication of overall
radio signal quality. A higher value indicates a higher signal quality, and a
lower value indicates a lower signal quality.
This field displays how long the utility has been running.
