Bridge - Proxim ORiNOCO AP-8000 User Manual

Access Point Features
Monitoring the Device
• In Errors: The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable 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 be transmitted 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 their 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.
Ethernet Statistics
Ethernet Statistics display information on the Ethernet interface.
• Description: Information about the interface (e.g., the name of the manufacturer, the product name and the version of
the hardware interface).
• Type: This displays 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's address at the protocol layer immediately below the network 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).
• Last Change: The value of the sysUpTime object at the time the interface entered its current operational state.
• 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 that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable 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 be transmitted 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 their 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.

Bridge

The AP is a bridge between the wired and the wireless networking devices. Bridge Statistics display information that is
available on the Bridge.
