Link Distance [Miles or Km]: Displays the user-specified distance between the two

ends of the wireless link.

RF Status [Error Code]: Displays an error code indicating the status of the system

RF components. Code 'zero' indicates normal operation. See the RF Status Error Code

Table 33: RF Status Error Codes on page 72 for details.

Ethernet MAC Address: Displays the unique Ethernet address of this terminal.

IP Address: Displays the user-specified IP address of this terminal.

IP Subnet Mask: Displays the user-specified subnet mask.

Default Gateway Address: Displays the user-specified IP address of the default

router/gateway on the local Ethernet segment.

5.3.2 Ethernet LAN Statistics:

Rx packets: Displays the number of non-errored packets received.

Rx packets - Discarded: Displays the number of errored packets received.

Tx Packets: Displays the total number of Ethernet packets transmitted.

5.3.3 Wireless Statistics:

Received Signal Strength: Min: Displays the minimum received signal strength

measured since the last screen refresh.

Received Signal Strength: Mean: Displays the average received signal strength,

computed since the last screen refresh.

Received Signal Strength: Max: Displays the maximum received signal strength

measured since the last screen refresh.

SINADR: Displays the average signal to interference, noise and distortion ratio

measured since the last screen refresh.

Rx Packets: Displays the total number of wireless packets received over the air.

Rx Packets: Retransmitted: Displays the number of wireless packets retransmitted over

the air.

Rx Packets: Discarded: Displays the number of wireless packets received over the air

with errors due to degradation in the RF link.

Tx Packets: Displays the number of wireless packets (including Ethernet frames and

error correction bytes) successfully transmitted over the air.

Tx Packets: Retransmitted: Displays the number of wireless packets retransmitted over

the air. The retransmission scheme is based on the Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ)

algorithm that detects when packets are lost, and makes a request to the MAC scheduler

to repeat transmission of the lost packets.

Tx Packets: Discarded: Displays the number of transmitted wireless packets discarded

by the subscriber terminal, due to degradation in the RF link.
