Monitoring the Wireless Network
The RF Status section displays the status of the radio medium. A very low
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can indicate interference.
In the Errors section, the interface reports the total number of error packets.
A significant percentage in the Average Number of Retries may indicate exces-
sive congestion or interference from another wireless device.
The statistics in black apply to the last 30 seconds, giving you a snapshot of
current performance, while the statistics in blue show the station’s average
performance over the last hour.
The module also compiles the information about wireless traffic and RF
conditions and summarizes it for:
■ all traffic on a radio
■ all traffic on a WLAN
■ all traffic associated with the module
The following sections describe how to view these statistics.
Radio Statistics
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module stores information about the wireless
network activity on each RP radio. To view these statistics, select Network
Setup > Radio > Statistics. (See Figure 6-5.)
