• Total Received Frames - The number of frames received from the
wireless media. The count includes data and control frames (including
beacons received from AP’s).
• Total Received Data Frames – The number of data frames received
from the wireless media.
• Total Received Fragments – The total number of frames received,
including data, control and duplicate data frames (see duplicates and
dwell timeouts parameter below).
• Bad Fragments Received – The number of frames received from the
WLAN with errors. In a point-to-point application, this counter should
relatively correspond to the number of retransmitted fragments on the
other side.
• Duplicates and Dwell timeouts – When a unit receives a frame it sends
an acknowledge for it. If the acknowledge is lost, than it receives a
second copy of the same frame, since the other side thinks this frame
was not received. Although duplicate frames are counted, only the first
copy of the frame is forwarded to the UTP port.
3.6.2. Survey Software
The Survey Software sub-menu enables you to align antennas and to assess
the radio signal quality of a point-to-point link. The sub-menu includes the
following options:
• Operation Mode – When running a Site Survey, set the units on either
side of the link to either receive (option 1) or transmit (option 2) packets
(one unit should be set to transmit and the other to receive). Option 0
(Idle mode) is not active at present.
• Data Type – Data is transmitted in the form of pseudo-random data.
This is the default. Option 1 (Null Packets) is for use with SA-PCR
Cards and is a future option. Do not change this setting.
• Data Rate – Rate at which the unit is transmitting. Do not make any
changes to this setting.
• Antenna – State of the antennas as configured in Transmit Diversity
(see section 3.4.3). Do not make any changes to this setting.
