The TouchScreen is constantly communicating with central monitoring stations. It connects via your
service provider using broadband. It also connects to a cellular network if your internet connectivity goes
down. The TouchScreen can connect to your service provider’s modem through a cable or Wi-Fi
(wirelessly).

modem:

1. From the Settings app (see

"Configuring the TouchScreen" on page 13

), tap

Advanced Settings >

Connectivity > Wi-Fi & Cellular Signal Strength

.

The Wi-Fi and Cellular Signal Strength screen is displayed, graphically displaying the detected
signal strength of the Wi-Fi connection to the router and the GPRS/EDGE connection to the
cellular network.
