4. Refer to the Transmitted field to view statistics transmitted over the Mobility 5181 Access Point
LAN port.
RX Packets RX packets are data packets received over the Mobility 5181
Access Point LAN port. The number is a cumulative total since the
LAN connection 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.
RX Bytes RX bytes are bytes of information received over the LAN port. The
value is a cumulative total since the LAN connection 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.
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 LAN
connection.
RX Dropped The RX Dropped field displays the number of data packets failing
to reach the LAN port. If this number appears excessive, consider
a new connection to the device.
RX Overruns RX overruns are buffer overruns on the Mobility 5181 Access Point
LAN port. RX overruns occur when packets are received faster
than the LAN connection 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 Mobility 5181 Access
Point LAN port. The displayed number is a cumulative total since
the LAN connection 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 LAN port. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the LAN Connection
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 a total of TX Dropped, TX Overruns and TX Carrier errors.
Use this information to re-assess AP location and transmit speed.
TX Dropped The TX Dropped field displays the number of data packets that fail
to get sent from the Mobility 5181 Access Point LAN port.
TX Overruns TX overruns are buffer overruns on the LAN port. TX overruns occur
when packets are sent faster than the LAN connection 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.
