TX LED (Red)
When illuminated, this LED indicates that the modem is transmitting data over the air.
RX LED (Green)
This LED indicates that the modem is synchronized and has received valid packets.
Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) (3x Green)
As the received signal strength increases, starting with the furthest left, the number of active
RSSI LEDs increases. Signal strength is calculated based on the last four valid received
packets with correct CRC. The value of RSSI is reported in S123.
