Available counters:
• Total Received Frames – Indicated the total number of frames that have been
received from the Ethernet port. This counter includes both bad and good
frames.
• Received Bad Frames – The number of frames with errors received from the
UTP port. A large number of received bad frames indicates a problem in the
UTP connection such as a bad UTP cable or hub port.
• Received good frames – The number of good frames (i.e. frames with no
errors) received from the UTP port.
• Forwarded to the bridge – The number of received frames that were
forwarded to the unit’s internal bridge. This counter should be equal to the
number of good frames unless the internal bridge is overloaded.
• Missed Frames – Frames that the unit recognized but failed to read due to
internal bridge overload. This counter should equal zero unless the internal
bridge is overloaded.
• Transmitted to Ethernet – The number of frames transmitted by the unit to
the UTP port. i.e., frames that have been received from the Wireless side, and
frames generated by the unit itself.
3.6.1.2 Wireless LAN Counters
Wireless counters display statistics about the unit’s Wireless LAN activity.
Transmission to the wireless media includes data frames received from the UTP
ports, as well as self generated control and management frames. When a data frame
is transmitted, the unit will wait for an acknowledge from the receiving side. If an
acknowledge is not received, the unit will retransmit the frame until it gets an
acknowledge (there are no retransmissions for control frames). If the unit has
retransmitted a frame for the maximum number of retransmissions it will stop re-
transmitting the frame and drop this frame.
