MAC address of the CB3000 housing the radio. The MAC address is hard-coded into the
device at the factory and cannot be changed.
Channel for communications between the CB3000 radio and its clients.
Displays the number of times the client bridge has roamed to another device. Use this
value as a metric of network stability, as a high roam count could be an indicator of poor
signal strength.
Displays the radio type currently transmitting. Either 802.11a or 802.11b/g.
The power level in dbm for RF signal strength.
Click the Reset button to reset the roam count.
The Total column displays the average total packets per second crossing the radio. The
Rx column displays the average total packets per second received. The Tx column
displays the average total packets per second transmitted.
Use this information to assess whether the current throughput is sufficient to support
required network traffic. The Total column displays average throughput on the radio.
The Rx column displays average throughput in Mbps for packets received. The Tx
column displays average throughput for packets transmitted.
Displays the average bit speed in Mbps for the radio, considering both transmitted and
received packets.
Approximate RF utilization of the CB3000 radio. This value is calculated as the
throughput divided by average bit speed.
Percentage of total radio packets that are non-unicast. Non-unicast packets include
broadcast and multicast packets.
Average RF signal strength in dBm for all devices interoperating with the CB3000.
Average RF noise for all devices interoperating with the CB3000 radio. If the noise level
is excessive, consider moving the MUs closer to your CB3000, or to an area with less
conflicting network traffic.
Average Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for all devices interoperating with the CB3000
radio. The Signal to Noise Ratio is an indication of overall RF performance on your
wireless network.
Average number of retries for all devices interoperating with the CB3000 radio.
Percentage of packets that the CB3000 gave up on for all devices interoperating with
the CB3000 radio.
Percentage of undecryptable packets for all devices interoperating with the CB3000
radio.
