BreezeACCESS Version 4.3 System Manual
Per-rate Counters (AU and SU)
Resets or displays the per-rate counters. The per-rate counters display
the number of frames (excluding retransmissions) transmitted since the
last reset at each of the rates (1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 3 Mbps) and the total
number of frames that were retransmitted at each of the rates. In the
AU the information is provided for each of the associated SUs, identified
by their MAC address. The counters in the AU are reset when there is a
new association with an SU (including reassociations).
RSSI Display Option (AU and SU)
In BreezeACCESS units running SW versions 3.X and below, all
measurements of received RF signal levels are displayed using arbitrary
RSSI units. From version 4.0 onward, the conventional dBm
measurement units can be used. However, to support users that prefer
to continue using RSSI units, the RSSI Display option enables selecting
the measurement units to be used for displaying received signal level
values.
Available selections: dBm, RSSI.
Default selection: RSSI.
ATPC Counter (AU and SU)
The ATPC Counter display information related to the number of ATPC
power-up/power-down messages sent or received by the unit since last
reset.
 Display Counter – Displays the current value of the ATPC Counter:
 ATPC Transmitted Messages (IF-based AU only) – The number
of ATPC power-up/power-down messages that were sent by the
AU since last reset.
 ATPC Received Messages (SU only) - The number of ATPC
power-up/power-down messages that were received by the SU
since last reset. This counter is displayed also in units that do
not use ATPC, since the AU sends ATPC messages to all SUs,
including SUs in which the ATPC Option is disabled and SUs
that do not support the ATPC option.
 Reset Counter – Resets the ATPC Counter.
