4 Refer to the Trans mi tte d field to reference data received over the access point WAN port.
5 Click the Clear WAN Stats button to reset each of the data collection counters to zero in order to
begin new data collections. The RX/TX Packets and RX/TX Bytes totals remain at their present
values and are not cleared.
Do not clear the WAN stats if currently in an important data gathering activity or risk losing all data
calculations to that point.
6 Click Logout to securely exit the Access Point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout before
the applet is closed.
RX Packets RX packets are data packets received over the WAN port.
The displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN
interface was last enabled or the access point was last
restarted.
RX Bytes RX bytes are bytes of information received over the WAN
port. The displayed number is a cumulative total since the
WAN interface was last enabled or the Access Point was
last restarted.
RX Errors RX errors include dropped data packets, buffer overruns,
and frame errors on inbound traffic. The number of RX
errors is a total of RX Dropped, RX Overruns and RX
Carrier errors. Use this information to determine
performance quality of the current WAN connection.
RX Dropped The RX Dropped field displays the number of data packets
that fail to reach the WAN interface. If this number appears
excessive, consider a new connection to the device.
RX Overruns RX overruns are buffer overruns on the WAN connection.
RX overruns occur when packets are received faster than
the WAN port can handle them. If RX overruns are
excessive, consider reducing the data rate.
RX Frame The RX Frame field displays the number of TCP/IP data
frame errors received.
TX Packets TX packets are data packets sent over the WAN
connection. The displayed number is a cumulative total
since the WAN was last enabled or the access point was
last restarted.
TX Bytes TX bytes are bytes of information sent over the WAN
connection. The displayed number is a cumulative total
since the WAN interface was last enabled or the access
point was last restarted.
TX Errors TX errors include dropped data packets, buffer overruns,
and carrier errors on outbound traffic. The displayed
number of TX errors is the total of TX Dropped, TX
Overruns and TX Carrier errors. Use this information to
assess Access Point location and transmit speed.
TX Dropped The TX Dropped field displays the number of data packets
that fail to get sent from the WAN interface.
TX Overruns TX overruns are buffer overruns on the WAN connection.
TX overruns occur when packets are sent faster than the
WAN interface can handle. If TX overruns are excessive,
consider reducing the data rate.
TX Carrier The TX Carrier field displays the number of TCP/IP data
carrier errors.
