Run-Time
LAN Packet Totals
Use this field to review the number of LAN packets that the local unit has Received,
Transmitted, and contained Errors. If Auto-Update is set to <No>, the LAN packet totals will
not increment while the screen is displayed.

Received

This field will increment as packets are received from the LAN. For this total to update,
Auto-Update must be <On>.

Transmitted

This field will increment as packets are transmitted by the Router to the LAN. These
include packets received from the WAN as well as internally generated packets. For this
total to update, Auto-Update must be <On>.

Errors

This field increments as packets are transmitted to, or received from the LAN in error. This
includes RX CRC errors (partial frames, aborted frames and “bad frames”) and TX retry
failures and RX carrier loss errors. This does not include bad packets that result from
collisions. For this total to update, Auto-Update must be <On>.
Note: There are WAN protocol packets sent to the telephone company switch, even
when there are no active calls.
WAN Packet Totals
Use this field to review the number of WAN packets that the local unit has Received,
Transmitted, and contained Errors. If Auto-Update is set to <No>, the WAN packet totals
will not increment while the screen is displayed.

Received

This field increments as packets are received from the WAN. This includes packets from
all remote sites. For this total to update, Auto-Update must be <On>.

Transmitted

This field increments as packets are received from the LAN and internally generated
packets, such as network optimization packets, which have been transmitted to the WAN.
For this total to update, Auto-Update must be <On>.

Errors

This field identifies packets that have been transmitted to, or received from the WAN in
error. This includes RX CRC errors (partial frames, aborted frames, long frames and “bad
frames”) as well as aborted TX frames. It is used to identify WAN communication
problems prior to contacting the telephone company for further diagnosis. For this total to
update, Auto-Update must be <On>.
