Checking Counters; Wlan Counters; Ethernet Counters - Alvarion BreezeNET PRO.11 Series User Manual

8.2 Checking Counters

Checking counters is also a good way to pinpoint any problems that may occur in
the BreezeNET wireless LAN. Counters can be checked from the monitor.
See Section 3.6.1.

8.2.1 WLAN Counters

When checking WLAN counters, total retransmitted fragments should be below
10% of total transmitted (bridge) frames. If total retransmitted fragments are above
10%, this indicates errors in data transmission. Too many retransmissions may be
an indication of interference between the transmitting and receiving units. Also, the
ratio between Frames Dropped (too many retries) and Total Transmitted Frames
(Bridge) should not exceed 1:40 (2.5%)
Received bad fragments should be no more than 10% of the total received data
frames. 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 8.1) above for possible corrective
action.

8.2.2 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.
Verify Ethernet port link at hub, workstation, and unit. Assign a unique IP address
to the unit and ping.
