Once the link is established you can use this mode to review the activity on the
configured for frequency for the link. If no activity is observed that means that
the signal from the remote side is being broken by the interference sources or by
the obstacles on the signal propagation path.
MAC2 mode
This regime performs MAC-addresses analysis to estimate the number of clients
with different MAC addresses and the efficiency of their utilization of the air link.
The analysis is carried out for all MAC addresses at the frequency previously
specified by rfconfig
command. The mac2 regime checks both data packets
and the link-level ACK messages sent by protocol supported devices.
Normal operation of the radio is not possible in this mode.
The picture below shows the output mac2 regime.
Like in review mode this regime provides with the information about a current
activity but on the configured frequency.
To run the review mode please type the following command:
muffer <IF-NAME> mac2
Statistics
The statistics gathering is used for estimating link load intensity and per client.
The amount of packets sent and received, and the number of retransmissions is
shown for each MAC address participating in the data exchange.
The statistics output is presented in the picture below.
