InfiNet Wireless R5000 Technical User Manual

The following decisions can be made by analyzing the outputted parameters:

 If the number of repeated packets is comparable with total number of

packets that means that you might have an interference source on the

selected frequency. For normally operating link the percentage of

repeated packets should not exceed 10%. It is extremely important to

obtain a permanent zero value for the average number of repeats per

packet. If the value is not zero that means that the link is NOT working

properly and requires further improvement

 If total percentage of repeated packets and the percentage of packets

that were repeated at least once are close to each other that might

mean that you have got a permanent source of interference. Otherwise,

it means that a strong interference source appears from time to time

breaking your signal

 Concerning the fact that statistics module outputs the information for

each MAC-address separately, you can reveal the problem for some

specific unit on the wireless network

The ―muffer stat‖ command shows the statistics only from registered devices.

To view statistics type the following command:

muffer stat

To reset all counters please type

muffer stat clear

Other modes of muffer

The muffer also has the following modes:

 mac mode. Compared to the mac2 mode this mode does not take link-

level ACK messages sent by protocol support devices into account

 mynet mode performs the radio testing without disturbing radio

module's normal operation, but taking into account only packets from

within the given network
