Column

Description

 

 

PHY Packet Errors

Number of frames received by the MAP radio that had

 

physical layer errors on the active channel. These errors

 

can indicate interference from a non-802.11 device.

Pkt Re-transmissions

Number of retransmitted packets sent from the client to

 

the radio on the active channel. Retransmissions can

 

indicate that the client is not receiving ACKs from the MAP

 

radio.

Utilization

Number of multicast packets per second that a radio can

 

send on a channel while continuously sending fixed size

 

frames over a period of time. The number of packets that

 

are successfully transmitted indicates how busy the

 

channel is.

 

 

Using the RF Trends The RF Trends window shows current and past 802.11 statistics for

Windowradios. You can view statistics up to 30 days old, and display graphs of data trends.
