points in a network. Template parameters do not affect nor overwrite settings
unique to individual access points, such as device name, location, IP addresses,
and administration passwords.
Viewing Statistics The statistics pages display various categories of operational and performance
statistics associated with the access point. The values do not update dynamically,
but you can update them at any time by refreshing the display.
■RF Statistics—Displays performance data for the radio transmissions to and
from the access point. The statistics related to transmissions from the access
point are listed in the Transmitted table on the left. Statistics related to radio
signals received by the access point are listed in the Received table on the right.
The RF statistics include the following numbers:
■unicast frames successfully transmitted and received
■broadcast frames transmitted and received
■multicast frames transmitted and received
■encrypted frames transmitted and received
■frames fragments transmitted and received
■beacon frames transmitted and received
■ACK frames transmitted in response to successfully received frames
■frames transmitted with corresponding ACK frames successfully received
■RTS frames successfully transmitted and received
■frames for which no CTS frames were received in response to RTS frames
being sent
■CTS frames received in response to an RTS
■frames transmitted that did not have their corresponding ACK packets
successfully received
■frames that were retransmitted
■frames received with checksum error
■duplicate frames received
■frames received with the WEP subfield of the Frame Control field set to one
and the WEPOn value for the key mapped to the TA's MAC address;
indicates that the frame should not have been encrypted or that frame is
discarded because the receiving STA does not support the privacy option
■frames received with the WEP subfield of the Frame Control field set to one
and the value of the ICV not matching the ICV value calculated for the
contents of the received frame
■Ethernet Statistics—Displays performance data for the wired Ethernet traffic
to and from the access point. The statistics related to wired transmissions from
the access point are listed in the Transmitted table on the left. Statistics related
to Ethernet traffic received by the access point are listed in the Received table
on the right. The Ethernet statistics include the following numbers:
■packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a
subnetwork unicast address, including those that were discarded or
not sent
