the main Wireless WAN screen, even while a connection is active. Units equipped
with certain other modems (e.g. Sierra Wireless UMTS and CDMA modems,
Novatel UMTS modems) do not display the signal strength while a connection is
active.The Rx bytes and Tx bytes fields estimate the amount of data transmitted and
received, respectively.
