Overview Guide

To edit the columns displayed in the grid, click the grid settings icon (image3.png) in the top-right corner beneath the Filter button. This opens the Configure Columns panel. Columns can be displayed or hidden and re-ordered. Note that changes made to the grid's column layout are saved and persist when navigating away from the grid.

The following columns are displayed by default:

  • Online Status – Shows the connection state for WAN interfaces. LAN interfaces are left blank.

    • image5.png (green circle with check mark) – Interface has an active network connection.

    • image7.png (small green circle) – Interface is establishing a network connection.

    • image9.png (hollow yellow circle) – Interface is available (for example, for failover).

    • image11.png (red circle with exclamation point) – Interface no longer has an active network connection.

    • image12.png (double gray circle) – Interface is unconfigured.

    • image14.png (gray plug) – Interface is no longer attached to a device. This applies to removable interfaces, such as a USB modem.

    • image15.png (hollow green circle) – Interface is in Standby mode.

  • Signal Strength – A relative percentage indicating the signal strength based on signal quality metrics.

    • (blank) Unavailable or not applicable

    • image16.png (no bars) – 0%

    • image17.png (one bar) – 1% to 24%

    • image18.png (two bars) – 25% to 49%

    • image19.png (three bars) – 50% to 74%

    • image20.png (four bars) – 75% to 100%

  • Name – Can be ethernet-lan, ethernet-wan, wlan-wireless0, and so on. Cellular modems include an identifier (for example, lte- cec5ffa7).

  • Cellular RSSI – The signal strength, or received signal strength indicator (RSSI), measured in dBm. For most modems, the minimum acceptable value is dBm > −85 (values closer to 0 are better). Wi-Fi devices report RSSI under the Wi-Fi RSSI column.

It is the ratio of the received energy of the carrier to the overall interference, expressed as a logarithm (for example, Ec/Io = log10[Effect energy / (total energy + noise)]). This value will be negative: numbers closer to 0 are better quality signals. (Minimum acceptable value: dB > −10)

  • Service Type – The service or technology type of the network interface (for example, LTE, Ethernet, Wi-Fi).

  • Carrier – The connected carrier, if available. Otherwise, this represents the carrier to which the modem is configured to connect.
