button to reset each of the data collection counters to zero in

order to begin new data collections. The RX/TX Packets and RX/TX Bytes totals remain at
their present values and are not cleared.

all data calculations to that point.

TX Packets

TX packets are data packets sent over the WAN connection. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN interface
was last enabled or the

AP-5131

was last restarted. To begin a

new data collection, see

Configuring System Settings on page 4-2

.

TX Bytes

TX bytes are bytes of information sent over the WAN connection.
The displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN
interface was last enabled or the

AP-5131

was last restarted. To

begin a new data collection, see

Configuring System Settings on

page 4-2

.

TX Errors

TX errors include dropped data packets, buffer overruns, and carrier
errors on outbound traffic. The displayed number of TX errors is the
total of TX Dropped, TX Overruns and TX Carrier errors. Use this
information to re-assess

AP-5131

location and transmit speed.

TX Dropped

The

TX Dropped

field displays the number of data packets that fail

to get sent from the WAN interface.

TX Overruns

TX overruns are buffer overruns on the WAN connection. TX
overruns occur when packets are sent faster than the WAN
interface can handle. If TX 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

.

TX Carrier

The

TX Carrier

field displays the number of TCP/IP data carrier

errors.
