existence and keep its associated stations synchronized. Thus, the total
transmitted frames counter will get high values even if the AP-10 is
not connected to an active LAN.
• Total Transmitted Frames (Bridge) - The total number of data
frames transmitted to the wireless media (i.e. frames that were received
form the UTP port and forwarded to the internal bridge which decided
to transmit them to the wireless media).
• Total Transmitted Data Frames – This counter is similar to the
above but counts only data frames. In most BreezeNET PRO.11 units,
the number of total transmitted frames and total transmitted frames
(bridge) are identical. In the case of the AP, due to the inclusion of
beacon frames, this number will be higher than that for Total
transmitted frames.
• Frames Dropped (too many retries) – The number of frames which
were dropped since they were retransmitted for the maximum number
of allowed retransmissions and weren’t acknowledged.
• Total Transmitted Fragments – The total number of transmitted
frames. The count includes data, control and management frames, and
the number of retransmissions of data frames (for example, if the same
data frame is retransmitted ten times, the count will increase ten times).
• Total Retransmitted Fragments – The total number of
retransmissions of data frames (for example, if the same data frame is
retransmitted ten times then the count will increase ten times). In a
point-to-point application, this counter should relatively correspond to
the number of bad fragments received on the other side.
• Total Tx Errors – The number of transmit errors that have occurred.
Currently this counter also includes normal situations where a
fragment has not been transmitted because the dwell time has elapsed.
• Internally Discarded – The number of frames that the AP discarded
due to a buffer overflow. Frame discard will occur mainly when the
wireless conditions are bad and the unit is busy re-transmitting frames
and doesn’t have time for handling new frames.
• Power Saving Aged – The AP buffers frames for stations in a power
saving sleep mode. This counter counts the number of frames dropped
by the AP because a station did not wake up for a long time.
