4.1.5. Show Details Check Box
If you check this box you‟ll see a whole bunch of data about Tx IP Packets etc. This can give
you vital information about the running of the network.
4.1.5.1. Tx IP Errors
Zero unless the node in question has too much data to send.
4.1.5.2. Number of tokens
This is the number of token passes in a 2 second interval that the node performs. This
higher this number the more data that node can transmit.
4.1.5.3. Number of TX retries
Number of times a token needs to be retransmitted from the node in question. This should
all be zero for a working system.
4.1.5.4. Number of RX fails
Number of times the node does not receive a decode-able transmission. This can be non
zero if a node does not see another node properly in the system. This may be indicated by
red signal strength. Forwarding allows data to be passed between nodes that have a poor
link using other nodes in the system.
4.1.5.5. Show deltas
When ticked all numbers show the parameter over a 2s internal. When not ticked the
numbers are accumulative and updated every 2s.
A non zero number indicates a problem with that node (such as antenna position or
interference), and should be corrected as it will drastically reduce system throughput.
