4-6 CB3000 Client Bridge User’s Guide
4.1.4 Viewing Event Log
The CB3000 keeps a log of network events updated every time an event occurs. Use the log file to
troubleshoot network problems that could result from broken device connections between the CB3000 and
networked clients.
To display the CB3000 log, select Statistics > View Log from the CB3000 menu tree. Click Refresh to
update to the logged events.
Speed Mode The CB3000 network connection speed displayed in Mbps. For example,
100 Mbps. If the throughput speed is not achieved, examine the number of
transmit and receive errors, or consider increasing the supported data
rate.
Duplex Mode The CB3000 connection type. For example, Full.
IP Addresses IP address of the CB3000.
Received Panel Details
RX Packets Data packets received by the CB3000 from its networked clients.
RX Bytes Data bytes of information received for the CB3000’s networked clients.
RX Errors Total of RX Dropped, RX Overruns and RX Frame errors. Use this
information to determine performance quality of the current CB3000
network connection.
RX Dropped Number of data packets that fail to reach the CB3000. If this number
appears excessive, consider establishing a new connection to the client.
RX Overruns Buffer overruns to the CB3000. These occur when packets are received
faster than the CB3000 can handle them. If the number seems excessive,
consider reducing the data rate (see Configuring Ad Hoc Settings on page
3-5 for more details).
RX Frame Number of TCP/IP data frame errors received.
Transmitted Panel Details
TX Packets Total packets transmitted by the CB3000 to networked clients.
TX Bytes Data bytes of information transmitted by the CB3000.
TX Errors Total of TX Dropped, TX Overruns and TX Carrier errors. Use this
information to re-assess the effectiveness of the CB3000’s location and
transmit speed.
TX Dropped Number of data packets that fail to get sent from the CB3000.
TX Overruns Buffer overruns on the WAN connection. These occur when packets are
sent faster than the WAN interface can handle. If the number seems
excessive, consider reducing the data rate.
TX Carrier Number of TCP/IP data carrier errors transmitted.
