This screen provides detailed information on data exchanges between the radio being viewed and the network through the network layer.

The most significant fields are Retries, Retry Errors, Receive Errors, and Lost Carrier Detected. If the data values are more than 10% of their sent and received counterparts, or the Lost Carrier Detected value is greater than a few dozen, there may be trouble with interference, or a loss of the Ethernet signal. Note that this does not refer to the over-the-air (RF) carrier, but only to the Ethernet carrier.
