3.

Refer to the

Received

field to reference data received over the AP-5131 WAN port.

4.

Refer to the

Transmitted

field to reference data received over the AP-5131 WAN port.

Link

The

Link

field displays

Up

if the WAN connection is active

between the

AP-5131

and network, and

Down

if the WAN

connection is interrupted or lost. Use this information to assess the
current connection status of the WAN port.

Speed

The WAN connection speed is displayed in Megabits per second
(Mbps), for example, 54Mbps. If the throughput speed is not
achieved, examine the number of transmit and receive errors, or
consider increasing the supported data rate. To change the data
rate of the 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio, see

Configuring the 802.11a

or 802.11b/g Radio on page 5-48

.

RX Packets

RX packets are data packets received over the WAN port. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN interface
was last enabled or the

AP-5131

was last restarted.

RX Bytes

RX bytes are bytes of information received over the WAN port. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN interface
was last enabled or the AP -5131 was last restarted. To restart the

AP-5131

to begin a new data collection, see

Configuring System

Settings on page 4-2

.

RX Errors

RX errors include dropped data packets, buffer overruns, and frame
errors on inbound traffic. The number of RX errors is a total of RX
Dropped
, RX Overruns and RX Carrier errors. Use this information
to determine performance quality of the current WAN connection.

RX Dropped

The

RX Dropped

field displays the number of data packets that fail

to reach the WAN interface. If this number appears excessive,
consider a new connection to the device.

RX Overruns

RX overruns are buffer overruns on the WAN connection. RX
overruns occur when packets are received faster than the WAN
port can handle them. If RX overruns are excessive, consider
reducing the data rate, for more information, see

Configuring the

802.11a or 802.11b/g Radio on page 5-48

.

RX Frame

The

RX Frame

field displays the number of TCP/IP data frame

errors received.
