Figure 7-37 Current Profile Window
Tx Retries Displays a percentage of the number of data packets the EDA retransmits. The
fewer transmit retries, the more efficient the wireless network is.
Missed Beacons Displays a percentage of the amount of beacons the EDA missed. The fewer
transmit retries, the more efficient the wireless network is. Beacons are uniform
system packets broadcast by the AP to keep the network synchronized.
Signal Level The AP signal level in decibels per milliwatt (dBm).
Noise Level The background interference (noise) level in decibels per milliwatt (dBm).
SNR The access point/EDA Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of signal strength to noise
(interference) in decibels per milliwatt (dBm).
Association Count Displays the number of APs the EDA connects to while roaming.
AP MAC Address Displays the MAC address of the AP to which the EDA is connected.
Transmit Rate Displays the current rate of the data transmission.
