Figure 2-31. Remote Performance Listing Menu
This screen provides a unit-by-unit summary of all Remote units cur-
rently associated with this Access Point. The parameters are displayed
in a column format with each line corresponding to one Remote.
• RxRate—Over-the-air data rate the transceiver is currently
using. All units do not need to use the same rate.
• RxPkts—Over-the-air data packets received from this unit.
• TxPkts—Over-the-air data packets sent to this unit.
• RxBCMC—Total number of Broadcast and/or Multicast packets
received over-the-air.
• RxViaEP—Packets received by the transceiver through the
Ethernet port.
• TxViaEP—Packets sent by the transceiver through the Ether-
net port.
• RetryEr—Packets discarded after exceeding five retries
over-the-air.
2.7.2 Network Performance Notes
Principles of Network Operation
The following is a list of points that could be of value in dealing with the
networking aspects of the transceiver.
1. The transceiver serves as a network bridge
• The transceiver goes through a “listening and learning” period
at start-up before it will send any packets over either of its ports.
This lasts about 10 seconds after the CPU’s operating system
has finished its boot cycle.
