Statement of Conditions The information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice. [. . . ] This value should be equal to the total number of good and bad frames. · Received Bad Frames ­ The number of frames in error that have been received from the Ethernet port. · Received Good Frames ­ The number of good frames that have been received from the Ethernet port. · Forwarded to Bridge ­ The number of "good" frames received that were forwarded to the bridge engine. This should be the same as the number of good frames received, unless the bridge is overloaded. · Missed Frames ­ The total number of frames not received from the wired LAN. · Transmitted to Ethernet ­ The number of frames that have been transmitted to Ethernet. These are mostly LAN frames, however, some frames are generated internally by the station. BreezeNET PRO. 11 Series 4-16 Installation Guide Device Setup and Management WLAN Counters · Total Transmitted Frames ­ The number of data and management frames that were transmitted to the WLAN. This counter ignores retransmissions (counts only one time for each frame). · Total Transmitted Data Frames ­ This counter is similar to the above but counts only data frames. In most BreezeNET PRO. 11 units, the number of total transmitted frames and total transmitted frames (bridge) are identical. In the case of the AP, due to the inclusion of beacon frames, this number will be higher than that for Total transmitted frames. · Frames Dropped (too many retries) ­ The number of frames dropped after too many unsuccessful re-transmission attempts. · Total Transmitted Fragments ­ Frames that are bigger than the maximum frame size, are split into smaller frames and then transmitted as several fragments. This counter shows how many fragments were transmitted. · Total Retransmitted Fragments ­ The number of fragments that were retransmitted due to various causes. · Total Tx Errors ­ The number of transmit errors that have occurred. Currently this counter also includes normal situations where a fragment has not been transmitted because the dwell time has elapsed. · Internally Discarded ­ The number of fragment or packets that had to be discarded due to Ethernet - WLAN buffer overflow. · Power Saving Aged ­ The number of frames discarded from the overflow buffers. These buffers holds messages for stations that only periodically make contact with the AP due to power considerations. · Power Saving Free Entries ­ Number of free buffers (one frame each) available for power save management. [. . . ] If more than 10% of the total received data frames are bad fragments, this may indicate that there is a problem with the wireless link. Refer to the Troubleshooting guide (section 9) above for possible corrective action. 9. 2. 2. Ethernet Counters When checking the Ethernet counters, received bad frames should be zero (0). If this is not the case, this may indicate a problem with the Ethernet connection. [. . . ]
