17.2 Wi-Fi Receive Tests
The "receive" utility present in the "release" folder can be invoked for displaying the following information.
• Total number of CRC PASS packets
• Total number of CRC FAIL packets and
• Total number of FALSE CCAs
17.2.1 Receive Command Usage
./receive <base-interface> <filename> <channel_number> <start/stop> <channel_width>
<base_interface>:This parameter specifies the Base Interface (string like rpine0).
<filename>: Name of the file into which the statistics will be logged, in addition to being displayed on the console.
<channel_number> Cabled tests can be made run in configured channels.: Channel number in which the statistics
need to be logged.
<start/stop>: Parameter to start or stop logging the statistics. Enter 0 to start logging and 1 to stop logging.
<channel_width>: Operating bandwidth of the channel. Refer to the table below.
Value Channel Width
0 20MHz
2 Upper 20MHz of 40MHz
4 Lower 20MHz of 40MHz
6 Full 40MHz
