Counters Tab
The Counters tab displays a series of statistics related to usage and performance.
Figure 3-7: Counters Tab (BU Units)
Using the Counters tabs, you can view a wide range of performance data at both
sides of the link. For RB units, you can monitor the received signal strength
through the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) bar indicator at the bottom
of the window. This RSSI bar can be used to optimize antenna alignment and
improve link quality.
To obtain a graph that displays the counter values, select a counter and drag it to
the icon.
♦ Tx Counters
Tx Fragments: The number of transmitted frames. The count includes data
and management frames and the number of retransmissions of data frames
(for example, if the same data frame is retransmitted ten times then the
count will increase ten times).
Tx Frames: The number of frames successfully transmitted to the wireless
media. The count includes successful transmissions of data frames
(excluding retransmissions), and the number of management frames.
Multicast Tx Frames: The number of successfully transmitted multicast
frames.
Retry Count: The number of frames that were successfully transmitted
after one or more retransmissions.
Multiple Retry: This counter is incremented when a packet is successfully
transmitted after more than one retransmission.
