Site Survey Menu
The Site Survey menu provides various tests and counters for verifying
the quality of the wireless link and the proper operation of the unit.
These tests can be used to help determine where to position the units
for optimal coverage, to align antennas and to assist in troubleshooting.
Traffic Statistics (AU and SU)
The traffic statistics can be used to monitor, interpret and analyze the
wired and wireless links performance. The traffic statistics counters
display statistics concerning wireless link and Ethernet frames. The
menu includes the following options:
! Display Counters – Choose this option to display the current value
of the Ethernet and Wireless Link Counters.
! Reset Counters – Choose this option to reset all the counters.
Ethernet Counters
The unit receives Ethernet frames from its Ethernet port and forwards
them to its internal bridge which decides whether the frame should be
transmitted to the wireless media. Frames that were discarded by the
unit’s hardware filter are not counted by the Ethernet counters.
The unit transmits valid data frames that were received from the
wireless media to the Ethernet port, as well as some internally
generated frames (e.g. responses to management queries and pings that
reached the unit from the Ethernet port).
! Total received frames via Ethernet – Displays the total number of
frames received from the Ethernet port.
! Transmitted wireless to Ethernet – Displays the number of frames
transmitted by the unit to the Ethernet port. These are usually
frames that have been received from the wireless side, but also
frames generated by the unit itself.
