MONITORING STATISTICS

Introduction	The AirConnect AP keeps statistics of its transactions during operation. These
	statistics include traffic, transmission success, and the existence of other radio
	network devices. This chapter discusses the statistics that can be monitored. All
	statistics can be cleared as needed.
System Properties	The System Properties window displays information about the configuration of the
	AP, status of AP modes, AP hardware identification numbers, and firmware and
	HTML versions.
	To view System Properties, select Statistics→System Properties. To exit the System
	Properties window, select any other item in the left-hand column, or click on
	Access Point at the top of the navigation pane.
Interface Statistics	The AP interface also monitors packets sent to the AP protocol stack (e.g.
	configuration requests, SNMP, Telnet). The Interface Statistics window provides the
	following information on these packets:
	■ Packet forwarding statistics for each interface (Ethernet, PPP, RF)
	■ Performance information for each interface in packets per second (PPS) and
	bytes per second (BPS).
	To view Interface Statistics, select Statistics→Interface Statistics.
	You can dynamically update this information by using the Refresh option. Click
	Start Refresh at the bottom of the page to update the values approximately once
	every two seconds. Click Stop Refresh at the bottom of the page to terminate
	dynamic updates.
	Select any other item or click Access Point at the top of the navigation pane to exit.
Forwarding Counts	Forwarding Counts provides information on packets transmitted from one
	interface to another (Ethernet, PPP, radio, AP). Forwarding Counts also displays the
	broadcast packets transmitted from the AP.
	To view the Forwarding Counts window, select Statistics-->Forwarding Counts.
	You can dynamically update this information by using the Refresh option. Click
	Start Refresh at the bottom of the page to update the values approximately once
	every two seconds. Click Stop Refresh at the bottom of the page to terminate
	dynamic updates.
