Chapter 4: MeshTray
.............................................
.
.
.
.
MeshTray™ is a status and configuration application that reports vital and statistical information about
the Wireless Modem Card (WMC). Because MeshTray is a “tray” application, it stays in the desktop
system status tray when it is minimized.
In this chapter you will learn about the available MeshTray features, the different ways to start
MeshTray, and how to remove the application from your computer.
MeshTray System Tray Icon Status
.............................................
.
.
The MeshTray icon resides in the System Tray and indicates the current mode of operation as well as
the state of the wireless interface.
There are two main modes of operation: Infrastructure or Peer-to-Peer. In infrastructure mode the
device is able to associate with an IAP, while in peer-to-peer mode, IAP association is not possible
(intentionally or unintentionally), and a wireless mesh network is automatically accessed with the use
of any available peer devices instead.
The table below describes all the possible states that the MeshTray icon will exhibit in the Windows
system tray.
Table 4-1 MeshTray Icon States
Icon State Explanation
Peer to Peer with Neighbors
The icon indicates that the device is running in peer-to-peer mode;
the MeshTray icon displays the Link Quality to the associated IAP
as color-coded bars. The greater the number of bars, the better the
Link Quality.
Peer to Peer without Neighbors
The icon indicates that the IP address has not yet been acquired
from the DHCP server. When this happens, the IP field in the
Status Tab displays a flashing “X” or “0” IP.
Inactive or Disconnected
The inactive state applies when a WMC is not inserted. The
disconnected state applies if a card is inserted but is not yet
associated with an IAP.
