Wireless antenna signal strength test (option)
Purpose
This test checks the individual signal strength of the primary and the 
secondary wireless antennas. Physical damage to the antenna cables 
(e.g., pinched, crushed, abraded, or cut) or a poor connection to the 
wireless card connectors can reduce or stop the wireless antenna signal.
The position of the primary and secondary antenna connections on the 
wireless card are as follows:
The relationship between the wireless card connectors, wireless antenna 
cable colors and the primary/secondary antenna signal strength test 
settings are as follows:
NOTE
The default ANTENNA configuration setting is ENABLED.
Test environment
For this test, place the Dash monitor in a wireless network environment 
with a known strong wireless signal.
