Monitoring the Wireless Network
You can use the RF Status section to monitor the quality of radio media on a

■ Avg Station Signal (dBm)—average signal level detected for all stations
associated to the Wireless Edge Services xl Module
■ Avg Station Noise (dBm)—average background noise for all stations asso-
ciated to the module
■ Avg Station SNR (dBm)—average SNR for all stations associated to the
module
In the Errors section, the Web browser interface reports the total number of
error packets for this Wireless Edge Services xl Module:
■ Avg Number of Retries—average number of attempts to transmit a packet
to a station
■ % Gave Up Pkts—number of packets that the Wireless Edge Services xl
Module never successfully transmitted to a station
■ % of Undecipherable Pkts—percentage of packets received that could not
be deciphered
