4. Refer to the Transmitted field to reference data received over the Mobility 5181 Access Point
WAN port.
5. Click the Clear WAN Stats 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.
Do not clear the WAN stats if currently in an important data gathering activity or risk losing all
data calculations to that point.
6. Click Logout to securely exit the access point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout
before the applet is closed.
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 121.
RX Frame The RX Frame field displays the number of TCP/IP data frame
errors received.
TX Packets TX packets are data packets sent over the WAN connection. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN was last
enabled or the Mobility 5181 Access Point was last restarted. To
begin a new data collection, see
“Configuring system settings” on
page 45.
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 Mobility 5181 Access Point was
last restarted. To begin a new data collection, see
“Configuring
system settings” on page 45.
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 assess access point 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 121.
TX Carrier The TX Carrier field displays the number of TCP/IP data carrier
errors.
