3.
Refer to the
Received
field to reference data received over the access point WAN port.
Mask
The
Mask
field displays the subnet mask number for the access
point’s WAN connection. This value is set on the
WAN
screen.
Refer to
Configuring WAN Settings on page 5-16
to change the
subnet mask.
Link
The
Link
parameter displays
Up
if the WAN connection is active
between the access point 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
or 802.11b/g Radio on page 5-55
.
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 access point 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 access point was last restarted. To restart
the access point to begin a new data collection, see
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
