The following sections first describe the sub-menus in the Site Survey
menu, and then explain step-by-step how to perform a Site Survey. The Site
Survey menu contains two sub-menus:
• System Counters
• Survey Software
3.6.1. System Counters
The System counters are a simple yet very efficient tool to monitor, interpret
and analyze the Wireless LAN performance. The counters contain statistics
concerning Wireless and Ethernet frames. The submenu contains the
following options:
• Display Counters – Choose this option to display the current value of
the Ethernet and Wireless counters.
• Reset Counters - Choose this option to reset all the counters. After
choosing this option you will be requested to type 1 for confirmation or
0 to cancel the reset.
Ethernet Counters
Ethernet counters display statistics about the unit’s Ethernet port activity.
The unit receives Ethernet frames from its UTP port and forwards them to
its internal bridge, which decides whether or not to transmit them to the
Wireless LAN. The units have a smart hardware filter mechanism which
filters most of the frames on the LAN, and hardware filtered frames are not
counted.
On the other side, frames which where received from the wireless LAN and
some frames generated by the unit (answers to SNMP queries and pings
which reached to the unit via the UTP port), will be transmitted to the UTP
port.
Available Counters:
• Total Received frames – The total number of frames received from the
UTP port. This counter includes both bad and good frames.
• Received Bad Frames – The number of frames with errors received
from the UTP port. High values (more than just a few) indicate a
problem in the UTP connection such as a bad UTP cable or hub port.
