# Status Interface

The **Status Interface** of the CloudBox provides a complete overview of the system’s operational state. It is divided into multiple sections, each representing a different aspect of the CloudBox, from hardware integrity to network connectivity. This interface allows timing personnel to quickly confirm that the device is healthy, connected, and ready to operate.

* **wlan0**: Internal WiFi Access Point status (typically fixed at `192.168.4.2`).
* **Internet**: Connection status of the CloudBox to the internet.

### 4G

This section displays the status of the 4G modem and mobile network connection.

**Fields**

* **Status**: Current modem state (e.g., `CME_ERROR` if no SIM card is present).
* **Operator**: Displays the mobile operator when a SIM is inserted.
* **Signal**: Shows the mobile network signal strength.
* **Network**: Service type and connection details (LTE, 3G, etc.).
* **Modem IMEI**: Unique hardware identifier of the 4G modem.

## IoT & Cloud

This section manages communication with the Cloud services.
