User's Manual

EthBusErr: displays the total number of Ethernet bus errors on the Ethernet controller.
CRCError: displays the total number of CRC errors on the Ethernet controller.
RxOverrun: displays the total number of receiver-overrun errors on the Ethernet controller.
Late Collision: displays the total number of late collisions on the Ethernet controller. A normal
collision occurs during the first 512 bits of the frame transmission. If a collision occurs after the
512 bit times, then it is considered a late collision. A late collision should be taken as a serious
network problem, since it causes the frame being transmitted to be discarded. The most common
cause of late collisions is a mismatch between duplex configurations at each end of a link
segment.
RetransLimitExp: displays the total number of retransmit limit expirations.
TxUnderrun: displays the total number of transmission-underrun errors on the Ethernet
controller.
CarSenseLost: displays the total number of carrier sense lost errors occurred on the Ethernet
controller.
EXPANDED STATS
Clicking on the Expanded Stats link will display a number of pages of statistics that are
maintained by the Cyclone module. Cyclone Technical Support may ask the operator for specific
information in this section when troubleshooting an issue.
THE TIMING SLAVE
STATUS
The Status page contains information on the operation of the product. It is the default web page.
The following parameters are displayed:
Device Type: displays the type of Cyclone module that is currently being viewed. This field will let
the operator know the frequency band of the module, the protocol that it is utilizing, and the MAC
address of the module. The frequency band can either be in the 5.2 GHz or 5.7 GHz band. The
protocol for a subscriber module must be multipoint. The MAC address will be in the following
format, 0a-00-3e-xx-xx-xx.
Software Version: displays the version of the software that is currently loaded into the module.
Please make note of this information when obtaining technical support.
FPGA Version: displays the version of the FPGA (field programmable gate array) that is
currently loaded into the module. Please make not of this information when obtaining technical
support.
Uptime: displays the length of time the module has been operating since power was applied.
System Time: displays the current time, which is inherited from the Cyclone System via the
registration to an access point module. When the module is registered to a Cyclone System
where a Cluster Management Module (CMM) is being utilized the time is displayed in Greenwich
Mean Time (GMT).
Ethernet Interface: displays the configuration of the Ethernet interface on the module.
Session Status: displays the current session state the module is in. There are four (5) options
that will display in this field, scanning, syncing, registering, registered, and alignment
 Scanning – module is cycling through the RF frequencies that it is configured to scan and looking for
an access point module.
 Syncing – module is attempting to synchronize timing to a single access point module.
 Registering – module sent a request for registration and is awaiting a response.
 Registered – module is locked on to a specific access point module and ready to transmit and
receive data packets.
 Alignment – module is in alignment mode.
