Device status LEDs

Once power has been established, your device will initialize and attempt to connect to the network. Device initialization may take 30-60 seconds. By default your 6300-CX will attempt to use DHCP to establish an Internet connection either through its cellular modem or the ethernet port .

  2. Indicator lights on the wireless quality indicator show you the cellular network signal strength.
    Signal barsWeighted dBmSignal strength %Quality
    -113 to -990% to 23%Bad
    -98 to -8724% to 42%

    Marginal

    -86 to -7643% to 61%OK
    -75 to -6462% to 80%Good
    -63 to -5181% to 100%Excellent

    The weighted dBm measurements are negative numbers, meaning values closer to zero denote a larger number. For example, a -85 is a better signal than -90.

    Note See Signal quality bars explained for more information regarding how signal strength is calculated and subsequently displayed via the LED indicators.
