This field also displays whether the ZyWALL is connected to a UMTS/HSDPA
network or GPRS/EDGE network.
This field also displays the type of the network to which the the ZyWALL is
connected. The network type varies depending on the 3G card you inserted and

This displays whether the card is in dormant state. When there is no data
transmitting, a card does not send a radio signal and is in dormant state to reduce

Signal Strength This displays the signal strength of the wireless network in dBm. The status bar
shows the strength of the signal. The signal strength mainly depends on the
antenna output power and the distance between your ZyWALL and the service

ZyWALL does not have a 3G connection (because the signal is still there even
when the ZyWALL is not using it).
