Link details pane
• Summarizes information on the radio frequency, IP address,
type of TDM service, number of assigned E1 or T1 timeslots,
and IP details of the local and remote WinLink units.
Monitor pane
• Displays the link quality between local and remote devices and
the following statistics:
• Radio signal strength (RSS) in dBm
• Current Ethernet bandwidth in Mbps. This is not the actual
traffic rate, but the maximum capacity (Net symmetrical
Throughput “Full-Duplex”) that can be supported currently,
(see
Figure 4-7 ).
The scale on the bar varies depending on the link distance and
air interface quality.
• Local/remote receive and transmit traffic rate, in Mbps or Fps
(frames per second).
• TDM status
The Estimated Time Between Errors bar gives an indication of
the TDM quality. The ETBE constantly calculates the expected
TDM ratio according to the current air interface conditions.
