See the “Supported Cisco Antennas and Cables” section on page 4 for details.
Solid green—Indicates the modem is receiving power and is associated and
authenticated, but not receiving or transmitting data.
Fast green Blink—Indicates the modem is receiving power and is associated
and authenticated. The blink rate is proportional to the transmitted and
received data rate.
Slow green blink—Indicates the modem is receiving power, but is not
associated or authenticated and searching for service. Check the antenna,
cable, SIM card, or the user account with your service provider.
Off—Indicates the modem is in reset mode.
RSSI Indicates the level of signal strength received by the EHWIC software.
Solid green—Indicates a high RSSI (greater than –69 dBm).
Medium green blink—Indicates a medium level RSSI (from –89 dBm to
–69 dBm).
Slow green blink—Indicates a low level RSSI (from –99 dBm to –89 dBm).
Off—Indicates the RSSI is less than –99 dBm. Check for proper antenna
attachment. Adjust antenna placement and orientation.
Solid amber—Indicates no service is detected. Relocate the equipment.
EVDO Indicates either HSDPA or EVDO is in service.
Solid green—Indicates HSDPA is in service.
Blinking green—Indicates EVDO service is in use.
Off—Indicates that neither HSDPA nor EVDO services are in use.
