Viewing the MAC Layer Statistics
The MAC layer statistics show the performance of the unit in the 300-24 system.
Information such as ethernet transmit and receive statistics, and OFDM encoder, decoder
and unpacking statistics enable you to view how the system is performing and where there
are errors that need to be addressed.
To view the MAC layer statistics
1. From the Main System menu, select
MAC Layer Statistics
.
The MAC Layer Statistics window appears:
2. Following is a description of the fields in the window:
This field... Shows this...
Total Frames Received The number of ethernet frames received from the

Total Frames Transmitted The number of ethernet frames transmitted onto the
100Base-T connection.
Frames For Local Host
(Ethernet Receive)
The number of ethernet frames received from the
100Base-T connection which were destined for the
300-24 unit’s TCP/IP stack.
