Interface Statistics - Proxim ORiNOCO AP-8000 User Manual

Access Point Features
• Time Zone: This parameter is used to specify the appropriate time zone.
• Day Light Saving Time: This parameter is used to indicate the number of hours to adjust for Daylight Saving Time.

Interface Statistics

Statistics feature provides information about the various interfaces that are available for the Access Points.
Ethernet Statistics
Ethernet Statistics display information on the Ethernet interface.
• Description: Information about the interface (For example: the name of the manufacturer, the product name and the
version of the hardware interface).
• Type: Represents the type of interface.
• MTU: Maximum Transfer Unit is the largest size of IP datagram which may be transferred using a specific data link
connection. The size of MTU may vary greatly between different links.
• Physical Address: The wireless interface address at the protocol layer in the protocol stack.
• Operational Status: The current state of the interface: Up (ready to pass packets), Down (not ready to pass packets,
or Testing (testing and unable to pass packets).
• In Octets: The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
• In Ucast Packets: The number of subnetwork unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
• In Nucast Packets: The number of non-unicast (i.e., subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets
delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
• In Errors: The number of inbound packets containing errors and preventing them from being delivered to a
higher-layer protocol.
• Out Octets (bytes): The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.
• Out Ucast Packets: The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to transmit to a
subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were discarded or not sent.
• Out Discards: The number of error-free outbound packets chosen to be discarded to prevent from being transmitted.
One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
• Out Errors: The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.
Station Statistics
Station Statistics displays information on the wireless clients attached to the AP.
• MAC Address: The MAC address of the wireless client for which the statistics are gathered.
• Rx Data Frames: The number of data frames that are received.
• Tx Data Frames: The number of data frames that are transmitted.
• RSSI: This parameter represents the Received Signal Strength of the Station.
• Rx Rate: This parameter represents the rate at which the last data packet was received.
• Tx Rate: This parameter represents the transmission rate of the station.
• State: This parameter represents the present status of the station.
Wireless Statistics
Wireless Statistics display information on the wireless interface.
• Description: Information about the interface (For example, the name of the manufacturer, the product name and the
version of the hardware interface).
• Type: This displays the type of interface.
