• Multiple Retry Count (Wireless-Slot A/B): The number of packets successfully transmitted after more than one
retransmission.
• Operational Status (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): The current state of the interface: Up (ready to pass packets),
Down (not ready to pass packets, or Testing (testing and unable to pass packets).
• Out Discards (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): The number of error-free outbound packets chosen to be discarded to
prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
• Out Errors (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of
errors.
• Out Non-unicast Packets (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted to a non-unicast (i.e., a subnetwork-broadcast orsubnetwork-multicast) address, including
those that were discarded or not sent.
• Out Octets (bytes) (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including
framing characters.
• Out Unicast Packets (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested
be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were discarded or not sent.
• Output Queue Length (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): The length of the output packet queue (in packets).
• Physical Address (Ethernet): The interface's address at the protocol layer immediately below the network layer in the
protocol stack.
• Received Fragment Count (Wireless-Slot A/B): The number of successfully received Data or Management MAC
Protocol Data Units (MPDUs).
• Retry Count (Wireless-Slot A/B): The number of packets successfully transmitted after one or more retransmissions.
• Single Collision Frames (Ethernet): The number of successfully transmitted frames for which transmission is
inhibited by exactly one collision
• Speed (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): An estimate of the interface's current bandwidth in bits per second.
• SQE Test Errors (Ethernet): The number of times that the Signal Quality Error (SQE) Test Error message is
generated by the physical layer signalling (PLS) sublayer.
• Successful RTS Count (Wireless-Slot A/B): The number of times a Clear to Send (CTS) is received in response to
an Request to Send (RTS).
• Transmitted Fragment Count (Wireless-Slot A/B): The number of transmitted fragmented packets.
• Transmitted Frame Count (Wireless-Slot A/B): This number of successfully transmitted packets.
•
Type (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): The type of interface, distinguished according to the physical/link protocol(s)
immediately below the network layer in the protocol stack.
• Unknown Protocols (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): The number of packets received that were discarded because of
an unknown or unsupported protocol.
• WEP Undecryptable Count (Wireless-Slot A/B): The number of undecryptable WEP frames received.
Station Statistics
This tab displays information on wireless clients attached to the AP and on Wireless Distribution System.
Enable the Monitoring Station Statistics feature (Station Statistics are disabled by default) by checking Enable
Monitoring Station Statistics and click OK.
You do not need to reboot the AP for the changes to take effect. If clients are connected to the device or WDS links are
configured for the device, the statistics will now be shown on the screen. Click Select to view the more detailed statistics
for a client.
Click on the Refresh button in the browser window to view the latest statistics. If any new clients associate to the AP, you
can see the statistics of the new clients after you click the refresh button.
