Refreshing and Resetting Statistics

To refresh the contents of the Status page automatically, select the Auto Refresh Page check box at the
bottom of the page. When this check box is selected, the Status page is updated approximately every 10
seconds to reflect the current state of the transceiver. By default, this box is not selected and the Status page
does not automatically refresh.

Note: Navigating away from the Status page causes the Auto Refresh page to revert

to its deselected default.

To reset all the statistics on the Status page to 0, click the Reset button.

Available Statistics

The Status page displays the following information about the transceiver.

Bad Packets

The number of Ethernet packets the transceiver has thrown away due to a bad CRC checksum.

Broadcast Packets

The number of packets sent over the transceiver where the broadcast address was the packet destination.

Connected To

The serial number of the transceiver’s upstream connection, for example the network Gateway or a Repeater.
This statistic displays 0 in a MultiPoint Gateway.

Disconnect Count

Note: This statistic is not valid in MultiPoint Gateways or Point-to-Point Repeaters.

The number of times the transceiver has lost its RF connection to its upstream connection.

Distance

The distance between this transceiver and the transceiver to which it is directly linked. Distances greater than
3/5 of a mile are typically accurate to within 100 feet. Shorter distances are not reported accurately.

Firmware Version

The current version number of the firmware revision installed on the transceiver. For information about
upgrading the firmware, see "Upgrading Plus-Style Transceiver Firmware Using TFTP Server" on page 24

Hardware Version

For internal FreeWave use. When speaking with a Technical Support representative, they may ask for this
information.

Noise

The level of background noise and interference at this transceiver. The number is an average of the noise
levels measured at each frequency in the transceiver’s frequency hop table. Ideally, noise levels should be
below –80 dBm and the difference between the average signal level and average noise level should be 30
