Interpretation of the received signal strength
Note: RSSI should remain higher than 12 to create/accept GSM CSD data calls or establish a GPRS connection. Users
can only transmit/receive by SMS (short message) if the RSSI is less than or equal to 11.
A better way of verifying the RSSI signal (instead of using the Modem Configuration) is to check the “SIGNAL” LEDs on
the front panel directly. See 2.2 LED Indicators for more information.
