When the system is on, the signal strength and quality strength will be displayed as
dynamic bar graphs in the window. To increase the strength and quality of the signal,
change the location of the Ripwave unit. Try moving it closer to a window, to a higher
location, away from other wireless devices (microwave ovens, cordless phones), and
away from metal objects (shelves, file cabinets). As the Ripwave unit is repositioned,
observe the Signal Strength and Signal Quality bar graphs. Position the Ripwave unit for
maximum signal strength and quality. The numbers to the right of the Signal Strength and
Signal Quality bar graphs and the Ripwave EID number are for troubleshooting purposes
only. During troubleshooting, the technician may ask you for these numbers. The Battery
Strength bar graph indicates how much charge is left in the battery. If the unit is being
run by the AC power adapter, the Battery Strength bar graph will show full strength.

The connections listed in the Advanced window will vary depending on your ISP
network. The above connections are used as an example.
