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
